The chronos deviceEighteen-year-old James has spent his entire life as a social outcast, preferring books and solitary hobbies over making friends. Worried about her son's loneliness, his mother Mary gives him an extraordinary eighteenth-birthday present: a Chronos Device capable of altering a person's physical age, mental maturity, and memories. She even volunteers to be his first test subject, allowing James to transform her into a teenager so they can spend an evening together as friends. For the first time, James experiences what it's like to have someone his own age who genuinely enjoys his company.
Encouraged by the experience, James brings the device to school the following morning, where he begins seeing his classmates as opportunities to finally change his social life. His attention soon turns to Sarah Mitchell, a popular and outgoing girl from his AP English class. With the power to alter anyone's age, personality, and interests, while erasing their memories of the experience, James could create the friends he's always wanted. But unlike his mother, his classmates haven't volunteered to participate, and James must decide how far he's willing to go to escape a lifetime of loneliness.
