Seth Borders possesses one of the highest IQs on Earth. Then something extraordinary happens. He suddenly acquires an incredible ability: he can see multiple possible futures unfolding before him. At the same time, he encounters Miriam, a beautiful Saudi Arabian princess who has fled an arranged marriage. Their worlds collide when forces pursue them, determined to kidnap or kill Miriam. Seth and Miriam must escape together, racing through the shifting sands of the Middle East and the hidden pathways of America. As different cultures clash around them, Seth faces an overwhelming question: if you could know the outcomes of your choices, would that knowledge change what you decide to do? Their flight becomes a test of both survival and the weight of foresight.
