An ordinary woman
with an extraordinary memory

In the near-future, the world is desperate for a Hero

On the verge of being forced to live in an underground bunker due to climate crisis, an ordinary woman with an extraordinary memory is recruited for a time travel program to stop environmental disasters before they happen. But when she falls in love with the program's mysterious founder, she must learn to believe in herself and her abilities before she's sent to sixteenth-century France with no way to save the world or return to the man she loves.
