Reluctantly agreeing to a blind date, Maggie becomes frustrated with the evermore impossible-to-believe claims made by the man sitting across the table, Remmy. Desperately wanting to avoid an argument, but also wanting Maggie to believe him, Remmy decides the best way to prove his incredible assertion is to show her. He takes Maggie by the hand as they jump through time and space via the Brane. Captivated by the idea that he has loved her for a very long time prior to this meeting, Maggie becomes deeply interested in Remmy. Wondering why he couldn't have done something about her less than happy childhood, Maggie learns about the limitations of Chaos Theory. She also soon learns Remmy is the only survivor of a research study conducted to create superior soldiers for the United Republic of Earth. The U.R.E., a world-wide government, rose to power following the devastation caused by the overwhelming number of natural disasters occurring on earth between 2050 and 2057. Concluding that anyone attempting to live outside of the system threatens the stability of the government, the U.R.E. is now engaged in a campaign to quietly eliminate all who are not privileged to live within The City. Although Maggie is vehemently opposed to war, Remmy successfully enlists her help in stopping the genocide being carried out by the U.R.E. While trying to protect Max, the future leader of a group of separatists who call themselves the Simple People, a disagreement in ideology has Maggie confronting Ewa - a misguided, but persuasive leader of the youth in the Simple People region. This conflict leads Remmy to think the eradication of U.R.E headquarters would go far in setting things right. Unfortunately, Maggie and Remmy are hindered by the not always predictable results of time travel, and by the super human androids who defend the U.R.E. center.
