Prologue
Time itself is like a living being with shape, motion, and growth. It's like a long strand of DNA and there are chains all along the strands that make up various realities. Trillions upon trillions of them. Just as with actual DNA, there are bad strands that produce malformations, sudden breaks, cracks, bumps in the chain. In most cases, they don't affect much of anything. You buy a different car, miss a lunch date, your VCR doesn't record, or nothing at all, but in certain cases, because of bad strand of time new events transpire in your past that alter the path you now live. You become unhinged from time.
Those who become unhinged from time have been given the opportunity to restore changes to their timelines caused by the domino effect of a malformation in a parallel world. This is achieved by repairing the breaks in the chain of time in other realities that caused these ripples to effect their home world. Though these breaks will not appear to directly affect them, they are part of the domino affect that must be re-aligned in order to get their lives back. If successful, they will return to exactly when they left, unaged and unchanged. Should they fail or die, they will return to their new existences. They are the Exiles.
