Synopsis: Interference

“Today, the population decreased by approximately 1,500 people…”

“Alexander Abbort has just released his new initiatives for World Peace today…”

“We are here to announce today, that the restrictions on time machine usage have been lowered to two months. Anyone who violates this law is committing a federal crime in the United States…”

Headlines and announcements passed on everyone’s internet television screen. Headlines and speeches spoken straight to them. People being led, in admiration, to a leader they truly did not know. The world was succumbing to chaos, a very internal chaos, so subtle, so unknown, that it was disguised as peace. Perhaps it had not been a new concept, but this world was crumbling.
What was inevitable, was unnoticed, dismissed, so those could go on with their lives as if nothing was going on, those who were either far too in denial of the corruption that could be occurring, or far too naïve, convinced by the lies, or simply far too immersed in it themselves, whether they wanted to be or not.
Those who knew of this corruption, were usually those who were either utterly aware of the horrors that could befall them from a loved one’s experience. Some were skeptics of the “system”, others observant outsiders who could see the cracks as they began to grow in the façade of the world they lived in.
Those who were captives of this corruption, had the tendency to never return from their captivity.
And those who knew, or didn’t know, and couldn’t handle it, simply, truly, ceased to exist.
A little over 100 years in the future, our world, beginning with the United States, is close to being overthrown by a sinister dictator, who feigns peace to conceal his selfish ambitions, Alexander Abbort. His methods of brainwashing are literally "hypnotizing", with technological assistance, that causes one person to do the same to another, and another to the other, a dangerous plague that threatens the already-oblivious nation.
At the same time, the population is dropping at a rapid rate, yet no record of the beings "dying" is able to be seen; disease, accident, and especially, suicide, rates are low. But uses of time-traveling machines are high, leading the government and society to believe that people are erasing their births in some way. Huge restrictions are put on the usage of time machines, so that a person can only go back two months, and all machines capable of going farther than this should be returned and exchanged for one that can only go as far as the limit.
Seventeen-year-old Kainni Ceiltra knows the truth about Alexander Abbort, that he's a brainwashing, calculating, cruel, selfish man that has nothing good in mind. She and many others express similar views in places where they try not to be discovered, usually on underground websites.
What had once been minor suspicions of hers grew to full belief that this man had nothing good in mind, when her mother returns from a "business trip" to the Abbort mansion in Washington, D.C. after 3 months and brainwashed her in the most permanent way possible. Now she is determined to go back in time to save her.
Eighteen year old Troy feels that his time to begin the vicious cycle of the men of his family has finally come to him, and he wants no part in it. All he wants is to be away from traumatic memories, conditioning, the expectations to calculate evil, and abuse that goes on in the depths of his ominous household.
And more so than that, is the desire for his mother not to face the fate that she did. But when he catches himself thinking like his father, he feels his fate is inevitable, and the only way to reverse it is to prevent his parents from meeting, or at least from having a relationship that leads to marriage and a child—saving her, and erasing his conception. Troy Abbort is also determined to go back in time to accomplish his goals, no matter what it takes. Each teen leaves at the exact same time, using the same time machine model, causing what is called time-machine interference.
They land in none other than 2009, their machines broken down, with no one but each other to turn to. Tensions are high for these two young adults, as they are forced to face the challenges of what is history to them, each other, and the reflection of their own pasts.
