The Sticky Fingers of Time

Two days later, Avis speaks with a kind of idealism that casts a bittersweet lens on how publishing, or perhaps our cynicism about publishing, has changed in the past half-century: No established publishing house ever takes advantage of a budding author....

When Tucker Harding (TERUMI MATTHEWS), a writer of hard-boiled fiction, steps out to buy coffee one day in 1953, she finds herself mysteriously transported to 1997. Wandering confused through New York’s East Village, she collides with Drew (NICOLE ZARAY), a jaded young woman with blossoming self-destructive urges who is desperately trying to locate where her car is parked so she can escape the City. These two soon realize they are both “time freaks” — souls who are able to live time out of order. Tucker and Drew join forces to unravel the mystery of Tucker’s impending murder in the 50’s.  Their efforts are confounded by femme fatale Ophelia (BELINDA BECKER) and man-fatale ISAAC (JAMES URBANIAK).
