The year is 2054, and the clocks are wrong. The discrepancy is small at first, but it’s quickly growing… and spreading to other electronic devices. Cell phones are dropping calls, traffic lights have no pattern, banks are shutting down, and the only person capable of fixing it is hiding in a small town in Idaho.

The people of Chagrin Heights are unaware that the inventor of the Unitime satellites is right down the street. They have their own problems to worry about. Bethany is childless, and is quickly becoming a stranger to her husband. Chief Snowiks is facing an unwanted retirement. Zabby has an abusive father. Cider wants treats, or cuddles, or both. (Cider is a dog.) They are as oblivious to each other’s problems as they are to Willow’s existence in their town. But now that they are in a world without technology, everything is going to change.

This is book for brave readers only. The five main characters are written in separate tenses and writing styles. But if you can handle jumping from past to present, first to third – you’ll find there is a reason for it... Just as there’s a reason for the title... Just as there’s a reason why technology failed in the first place.
