1972: Byron Hemmings is a young boy living an orderly life when his friend James tells him that two seconds will be added to the clock to keep time in balance. Byron becomes convinced that this change will have disastrous consequences, and his fears seem realized when a split-second mistake during a drive in the fog changes his family's life forever. Moving between the aftermath of that summer and the present day, where a man named Jim struggles with life in a mental health facility, the novel explores the fragility of 'perfect' lives and the devastating ripple effects of a single moment.
