A theme park worker can travel back in time to walk the decks of the Titanic. But can he save one of her heroes from a watery grave? Ever since he graduated from high school, Liam Peterson has worked at the Titanic Voyage ride in Historytown, a struggling amusement park in Eloy, Arizona. He’s enchanted by the journal of Clara Jones, a hero of the Titanic who saved several fellow Third Class passengers before she perished in the sinking. He never dreamed he’d meet her. One night, the teenage son of Historytown’s founder tricks Liam into thinking that a 3D projection of Clara is a theme park guest. As Liam spends time with Clara’s “holoactor” on the sets of Titanic Voyage, the past starts to change, and he realizes he’s been visiting the real Clara Jones. When tragedy strikes Liam’s life outside the ride, his only escape from the grief is the hope of saving Clara and giving her a long, happy life. But if he rewrites her history, he might erase his own.
