Two Worlds; Two Wars A month before his 16th birthday, Will Marshall faces an unimaginable adventure - find his younger sister, Madi - 150 years in the past.

Will regards himself as a prisoner of circumstance, especially when he is stuck for three weeks of his summer vacation at his grandparents' house in Gettysburg, PA with Madi. But all that changes for Will the moment Madi secretly unearths a rare timepiece buried under an old chicken coop and places it around her neck. Possessing a mysterious power, the timepiece awakens Mr. Fink, a sinister man with a dark and daunting motive, who craves revenge. He speaks of prophecy unbeknown to Will and bestows Madi with a gift: a magical camera. Working together with the timepiece, the camera unlocks a hidden gateway and funnels the siblings into the past.

Bound in time, Will is confronted with cases of mistaken identities as he encounters familiar faces from history. Just when he discovers a way back home, the American Civil War erupts and tears the siblings apart. Trapped amid the unrest, Madi is kidnapped and held captive by the Nefarions: a subcultural faction with a personal vendetta toward the NEVES.

With the battle escalating and war among the NEVES and Nefarions brewing, Will discovers an impossible truth about his very own past. Ignoring this verity, Will embarks on his own quest to find and rescue Madi.

But, as hidden truths are exposed and Impetus Existence begins to unfold, can Will save Madi in time?
