White boy in 2030 helped by coloured girl from 2131 to cure a super virus decimating non-coloured people.
In 2030 a virus is hijacked and mutated into a biological weapon. A lab leak results in a deadly encephalitis virus sweeping the world affecting white people.
Searching for help for his sick parents, 17-year-old Stephen enters a time shift to Serendib 2131. An advanced civilisation of people of colour, who care for brain damaged white people.
The leader and his 15-year-old apprentice Aletheia offer help Stephen develop an antidote to the encephalitis super-virus. But Stephen must understand the racist attitudes and prejudices that caused the problem. They take him to where his parents money comes from. His mothers ancestors slave traders in Virginia 1960; and his father in the era of the British colonisation in Sri Lanka.
Finally, to 2030 to see the plight of refugees in detention centres. He returns to 2131 determined to change the course of history. Scientists in Serendib can develop a cure and vaccine using Stephens body. It is risky. He agrees. And survives. Stephen returns to 2030. His memory of Serendib wiped but he and his parents work on a cure.
