At the storied but sketchy Playa Palma Hotel, Room 616 has been sealed off from the guests for years -- because anyone who checks into it vanishes by morning. Turns out the disappeared are showing up again in the past.
This is now musician Nick Prentiss finds himself playing the Las Vegas showroom scene in 1966, even though he wasn't born until the 1980s. It's how others around him have died in dangerous attempts to return to their own times. It's also the reason a pistol-packing gambler from another decade now has Nick dodging enraged mobsters, sultry ex-lovers and a menacing federal agent who knows more than he's telling about time travel.
The mystery dates back to Thurson C. "Thursday" McClellan, Room 616's original vanished occupant that every other time-traveler swaps identities with when they arrive. Thanks to Thursday, many know how to travel backward. But going forward is the puzzle no one has solved. Only one thing is certain -- once you arrive here you are Thursday, and once another traveler follows your turn is up. So half the city has you in its gun sights, on a desperate hunt to find the future.
