The story unfolds around a mysterious girl from the future who appears in 1945 New York and is linked to a nefarious doctor, Dr. Turber. Central to the narrative are the characters Alan, his sister Nanette, and their friend Edward, who are drawn into a web of intrigue involving time travel and the unknown.

This strange vision foreshadows deeper connections between time, place, and the characters' destinies. As the tale progresses, Alan and Edward learn about a girl found in Central Park with amnesia, and suspect she might be the same girl from the television vision.
