The world finds its own way to deal with the losses, and the dust of the previous weeks seems to be settling. That is, until Amalie London ? a supposed employee of Royal Research Corporation ? comes out of nowhere and points the finger at Daniel.
Amalie convinces Daniel to help her retrieve a quantum computer from Royal, claiming it's their only chance to bring back the "ghosters". But it turns out not to be that simple.
After a series of dangerous and illegal stints, Daniel finally comes to learn the truth about the ghosters ? they will have to travel back in time to bring them back. And the repercussions of time travel have consequences on his present he couldn't possibly have imagined.
