Storyline

Riley is a completely unremarkable woman, if you were to ask her. A plane ride towards a job that could change her destiny ends in disaster when there's a critical engine failure during flight. It would be the end for Riley too, were it not for a remarkable woman who claims to be from the year 2165. Yup, it's a time travel story folks.
