Summary:

After the tragic death of Anthony Bruhl, his 14-year-old niece, Taylor, is left without family—until Connor Mason steps in to honor his late friend’s legacy. But when Rittenhouse’s attack forces the Lifeboat team to retreat to their secret bunker, Connor has no choice but to bring Taylor along.

Thrown into a world of time travel, danger, and tense alliances, Taylor struggles to find her place among the grief-stricken team. Amid the chaos, she becomes fascinated by Garcia Flynn, the brooding and reluctant ally whose dark past intrigues her. While Flynn initially views Taylor as nothing more than a nuisance, her relentless pranks and fiery spirit begin to crack his hardened exterior.

As tensions rise in the bunker, Taylor’s antics test the patience of everyone, especially Wyatt Logan, who struggles to understand her need for levity. But when Flynn steps in to defend Taylor, an unexpected bond begins to form—a bond that will force both of them to confront their pain, their losses, and their need for connection.
