"Maybe getting older lets you finally see all sides of the dice - not just the ones that are facing up."Vera Bartlet is a soon-to-be college graduate with absolutely no idea how messy her life is about to become. It's not just the job search looming on the horizon or her lack of a boyfriend that's got her stomach in knots - rather, her dad has been missing for almost a decade, and no one knows what happened to him. When Uncle Edgar mysteriously arrives back onto the scene, he comes armed with some interesting new ideas about what may have happened to Vera's dad - and an even more revolutionary idea of how to find him. With nothing short of bending time and space, Edgar sends Vera back in time in the hopes that she might find the clues they need to get her dad home. As she sifts through the mangled pieces of reality and her altered memories of middle school drama become jumbled in between truth and fantasy, Vera has to choose which elements of her past should stay in the past, and which she might like to incorporate into her future. Time travel is never simple, and there are always side effects - but in this case, it might just hold the key to finding her dad. Will Vera stay sane long enough to find her dad and make peace with the bullies who made her miserable?
It appears that Luna is noticing exactly what he was afraid of - that the chair is changing Onyx, and not for the better. After the successful revolution led by the Disturbers, the Upperworld now lies under the dominion of Onyx. Unfortunately, the current that provides the life energy for the orbs now runs through him, rendering him physically unable to leave the throne or touch anyone without immediately vaporizing them. Onyx and Luna are now the only half-humanoids in the Upperworld emotionally tied together, for better or worse - and they both suffer greatly from being kept apart. To ameliorate the situation at hand, Griffin and Evander suggest a potential solution - and the answer just might lie in Onyx's past. After constructing a time machine, Griffin journeys back to Earth year 1790, when Onyx's mother lived in Puritan America and conceived him. By watching her closely, there is a small chance that he might be able to pinpoint the exact moment when her choices deviated from the master plan - and those coordinates just might have the power to set Onyx free. Will Onyx be able to tolerate being imprisoned long enough for Griffin to save him? Or will he degenerate long before they can manage to set him free, leaving them no choice but to pull the kill switch on the Upperworld once and for all?

If his death goes unchecked, the entire Upperworld, and all of humanity, will be at risk of extinction.

Will they succeed, or be dragged down to their doom?
