Their well-meaning interference causes unforeseen changes to the present. When Cassandra and Alexander return to 2013, they find everything... perfect. Bella never vanished. Their childhood was happy. Their family is intact. But something feels wrong. Reality is unraveling beneath their feet. The price of rewriting history is catching up.

Transformed and enraged, the Washingtons return to claim vengeance on the community that betrayed them.
