Connor Bellman and Marcy Miller's shared fascination with quantum mechanics started when they met in an advanced college physics program. Their friendship is fueled by a mutual desire to unravel the secrets of time travel.
Years later, during graduate school, Marcy discovered an internship opportunity with the brilliant but difficult Doctor Spence Reynolds. He was on the cusp of achieving the seemingly impossible – time travel.
Drawn by the opportunity, Connor and Marcy continued working with Spencer even after the internship concludes, convinced his research holds the key. Following Spencer's sudden death from a heart attack, they are astonished to learn he has left his entire estate, including his groundbreaking research, to them.
Within a few years, their dedication pays off and they successfully build the world's first time machine.
