"We know from Einstein's theory of general relativity that time can bend.If we can accept that time linear time can bend, can we accept it can bend as much as back upon itself, and then, if so is it too much of a leap to suggest that points in time could touch and where they touch, we could step across?" Three students from the Professor's History class, steal his notebook and, waiting for him to leave his home, that of Mary Morrill, sneak inside, intent on finding and stealing the lost treasure of the RMS Republic.Only they are not as alone as they think.
