Introduction

On their way to a much-needed shore leave, the Enterprise intercepts a distress call from Dr. Paul Manheim, a mysterious scientist who has been researching time for over a decade. His experiments have begun distorting time over a vast space, and the Enterprise must intervene before the effects alter all of reality. More personal to Picard, however, is a reunion with a lost love, Manheim's wife Jenice. Will a specter from Picard's past diminish his ability to protect the future?
