It's been only moments since Asher Doyle made an impossible decision -- a matter of seconds since he set off a time bomb on the rooftop of the Factory that would change his life forever.

At least, it felt like only moments to Asher. But he was wrong.

In reality, twenty years have passed since that fateful night. Twenty birthdays, and yet Asher is still the same thirteen-year-old boy he was when he arrived at the Factory. Asher Doyle, The Boy Frozen in Time.

And it gets worse: Not only is his best friend, Vi, twenty years older -- she's the new director of the evil place she and Asher swore to bring down. What could possibly have happened to make her switch sides?

As Asher wraps his head around all he's lost, he finds himself at the center of an experiment at the hands of his former ally and best friend. It's up to him and a new group of friends to expose what new sinister secrets lie buried at the Factory -- if he manages to make it out alive . . .
