Eighteen year old EDEN is stuck in a small town for the summer as part of her probation agreement, a deal she made after accepting the blame for drug possession on behalf of a friend. She plans to work, save, and keep to herself.
When she spills food on LUCAS at work, the star high school baseball player verbally chastises her in front of a large crowd. The next day, after a local doctor goes missing, Eden sees Lucas shove a body into the trunk of his car.
When the police fail to find any evidence against Lucas, Eden becomes suspicious of their possible involvement, so she begins to snoop.
Lucas lies to her on two different occasions, which solidifies her suspicion, until she overhears him accept a bribe from the dubious mayor. The mayor knows where the doctor is, but wants Lucas to accept the responsibility of his disappearance until he returns. The situation is more complex than she imagined, and Lucas is in deeper than he realizes.
In a moment of vulnerability, Eden tells Lucas that she doesn’t believe he kidnapped the doctor, and he admits it was his friend who tripped her in the restaurant. Lucas explains that the body in his car was a stolen animal, something he does regularly for the doctor and his experiments. In spite of her animosity toward Lucas, Eden explains the reason for her probation was that she took the blame for a friend, and convinces him not to take the blame for something he didn’t do. Besides, she could use his help.
Many signs point to the abandoned hospital as central to the mystery—power surges and losses, disappearing and reappearing animals, claims of ghost sightings, and a strange machine the doctor has invented.
Lucas believes the hospital is haunted, but Eden has a more rational theory. In her effort to prove the doctor is testing his time machine on himself, she and Lucas sneak into the hospital late one night and discover the dead body of the mayor. They are both suspects in the murder.
Soon afterwards, MRS STEPHANIE EMMET, the missing doctor’s wife who has gone out of her way to welcome Eden, goes missing. Eden and Lucas discover she has an expensive gambling habit and may be trying to sell the time machine to the Russians. After using Eden to retrieve a document that could reveal her intentions, she forces Eden and Lucas into the time machine and sends them into the future so they can’t interfere in her billion-dollar deal with the Russians.
Lucas is able to change the time machine so they travel three days instead of three months.
Throughout her amateur investigation, Eden uncovers random nuggets of information about the missing doctor, DR ROGER EMMET, that don’t mean much until she deduces that he set in motion a notorious plan before he left in the time machine.
Dr. Emmet wanted to be famous for his inventing the time machine, but his two business partners, the mayor and hospital owner, planned to sell the machine on the black market for billions, which required their anonymity.
In an attempt to gain fame, the doctor established an elaborately documented trail to show the world he time traveled in the machine he invented. He briefly returned to kill the mayor and frame the hospital owner. His plan would have worked had Eden not put the pieces together.
Dr. Emmet is arrested for murder, Mrs. Emmet will face kidnapping charges.
Eden and Lucas are cleared of all charges, have worked passed their spite and have almost become friends.
