Aby zachránil svou dceru, půjde kamkoli. A kdykoli. Kin Stewart je muž oddaný své rodině. Pracuje v IT, snaží se udržet jiskru v manželství a bojuje, aby se sblížil se svou dospívající dcerou Mirandou. Ale tento život je na hony vzdálený jeho předchozí kariéře – agentovi cestujícímu v čase v roce 2142. Po zpackané misi uvízl v devadesátých letech na předměstí San Franciska. Od té doby svou minulost před všemi skrývá, navzdory stále vyšší četnosti ztrát vědomí a výpadků paměti ovlivňujícím jeho mozek, který podstoupil cestování v čase. Jednoho odpoledne však dorazí „záchranný“ tým – o osmnáct let později. Jejich mise: přivést Kina zpět do roku 2142, kde je nezvěstný pouze několik týdnů a kde na něj čeká jiná rodina. Rodina, kterou si nepamatuje. Kin, rozpolcen mezi dvěma životy, zoufale hledá způsob, jak zůstat propojený s oběma. Jenže když při tomto tvrdě vynaloženém úsilí málem zničí vládní úřad i celou historii, samotná existence jeho dcery se ocitne v nebezpečí. Bude muset znovu skočit v čase, aby Mirandu zachránil, i kdyby při tom porušil všechna pravidla cestování časem. Tento jedinečný dojemný debut, který spojuje více žánrů a nese jméno Tady, teď a tehdy, nabízí perfektní vyváženost odvahy, hravosti a představivosti. Ukáže nám hlubiny otcovské lásky a její obrovský dosah napříč prostorem a časem ve snaze ochránit ty, na kterých nejvíc záleží.
