Sixteen-year-old Riley Quinn is used to being invisible at Crestwood High—until a late-night fall from his skateboard lands him in a mysterious antique shop that seems to appear out of nowhere. There, he receives a pocket watch with strange markings and a single instruction: “Use it only when the stars forget you.”
Suddenly, Riley begins noticing shifts in reality—time speeding up, slowing down, and even looping back. As he navigates school pressures, friendship drama, and an unexpected romance with brilliant loner Ava Monroe, Riley must uncover the secrets of the watch before his world unravels—and before he forgets who he is.
Riley Quinn didn’t believe in fate, but fate believed in him—hard enough to shove him
off his skateboard and into a future he never saw coming.
It started like any other Friday. Crestwood was draped in that familiar end-of-week
laziness, teachers half-assigning homework and students drifting like autumn leaves
through the hallways. Riley kept his head down as usual, hoodie pulled tight, earbuds
in, the low hum of synthwave shielding him from the world. Being seen was dangerous.
Being ignored was safer
