Synopsis

Dexter, a scientist, pushes human knowledge and invents a time machine. The invention spirals into chaos when it unwittingly becomes a malevolent black hole, threatening the world’s very existence. She uncovers the aftermath of her creation when she discovers a cryptic watch, sent through time as proof of her invention's power. Then, face-to-face with her future self, Dexter becomes involved in a high-stakes battle against her destiny, eventually determined to prevent the very creation of the time machine. A shocking twist unfurls as a further version of Dexter emerges, a sinister doppelgänger orchestrating events from the shadows, manipulating the time machine's inception to fulfil a clandestine mission to alter her family's tragic destiny…
