Six years from now, Paul Daniels, a dynamic young lawyer at a small but prestigious firm, handles the appeal of the Elmore family to overturn a decision awarded to a minor son under new Civil Rights legislation, specifically Title XII, Minors? Protection, and the subsequent Children's Rights Act. Daniels shocks everyone by winning the appeal, provoking powerful responses from a Children's Rights Title XII coalition and its opposing Family Rights Title XII group. The case goes to the Supreme Court. With the date for oral presentations just a week away, Daniels is discreetly visited by Mitch Harris, a Children's Rights champion ? who is not yet born! That is followed by visits from Harris? adversaries ? also from the future. A frantic week of intrigue, danger, threats and action ensues as all involved wrestle to impact the long term effect of the imminent Court decision on their interests.
