Summary
In 2083, eighteen-year-old Jules Capulet is still reeling from the end of her romance with Romeo--which left him in a coma and her a social outcast--when Heathcliff Ellis arrives from another time, on a mission to revive Romeo and possibly rewrite the future.
Year: 2083. Location: London. It's the end of the world-- literally. Time travel is possible, but only forward. Only a handful of families choose to remain in the "now." Life is far from rosy for Juliet ("Jules"): the love of her life, Romeo, lies in a coma, and Jules is estranged from family and friends. Then a time traveler, Ellis, arrives from the future (an impossibility!) with a mission: wake Romeo-- and rewrite her future. -- adapted from jacket
