Synopsis

Grisha who has become a private detective while existing in this time period receives a mysterious message with a list of names instructing him to look into other people who are also displaced in time just as he was.

Madame Cosmo is something of a shut-in having used her earnings from "predicting" celebrity gossip on her blog and other publications to buy and maintain the final Blockbuster video store in the world. She has an employee named Emily Boyd who helps her out while attending community college in an attempt to turn her life around.

Grisha catches up with Patrick in the middle of a con and convinces him to join in the search in exchange for not being reported to the authorities. The two of them approach Emily Boyd in class and convince her that they share a similarly strange background despite her rationalization that she had recovered a particularly vivid memory of one of her past lives.

The three of them gently break the news that they all share this anomaly to Madame Cosmo who didn't much like her previous life and is therefore perfectly happy with the way things are and isn't inclined to ask difficult questions about it.

Because he has no fixed address Albert is the most difficult to track down. He is squatting at an old factory that made wood-burning stoves when Grisha & Patrick track him down. Despite his reluctance to leave his revolutionary friends he agrees to look into their strange common problem.

The group huddles at the Blockbuster to review the facts. Madame Cosmo uses her super-science to track the original message Grisha received back to the "Paradise Sails" Yacht club in California. The group agrees to travel to California to get to the bottom of things.

At the Yacht club the various party members use their own unique skills to get onto the property. Albert sneaks on posing as a worker and positions himself at the boat fuel pump in preparation for burning as many Yachts as possible. Madame Cosmo poses as a guest of the celebrity Jennifer Aniston. The others pose as prospective club members and their staff.

Investigation of the ships and their owners puts a very large yacht owned by one Michael Decker under particular suspicion. He appears to be a mysterious and secretive billionaire.

The party calls off Albert's ultimatum to get to the bottom of things before he spills fuel into the harbor and lights the water aflame. Instead he sneaks aboard the yacht but fails to collect any serious evidence. He trips an alarm but makes a clean getaway.

The next night there is a party aboard the yacht and Mdme Cosmo and Patrick con their way aboard. Their attempts to steal a laptop with evidence are eventually discovered, but not without placing Mr. Decker & Ms. Aniston in a compromising position.

Once everything is discovered the party gathers and Micheal Decker reveals that he too is displaced from his own time. However since he has experimented with time in the past he has learned that our current state is unstable and that we will die within a few months unless some action is taken. He was holding this party as a last hurrah for his current life.

He plans to escape by building a quantum resonator in the Nevada desert that will create a pocket outside of time and space and serve to anchor and redirect us through time whenever time ripples threaten to overtake our current incarnations. He offers the party members an opportunity to leave with him using this device.

The party agrees to 5 days to get their affairs in order before they jump.
