Two years after being expelled from high school, Horace “Russ” Vale has started to get his life back on track.

Just when everything falls apart, Russ is shocked to receive a message on his cell phone— from himself. This “Future Russ” gives him a chance to fix his mistakes by leaping twelve hours into the past. Russ can’t resist, figuring the day can’t get any weirder or worse.
But he couldn’t be more wrong. Because as soon as Russ tampers with time and space, he sparks dangerous glitches he can’t control, including alternate versions of himself.
