Sometimes the only way to find your future is to face your past.

Iris has always carried the heavy weight of disappointment, most of all in herself. Haunted by the death of her mother and her own insecurity, she's convinced she's unworthy of love and pushes away the one person who's stood by her through everything: Billy.

One lonely night, overwhelmed and aimless, Iris wanders into the woods with no destination and even less hope. But just as she's on the brink of a drastic decision, the world shifts. Time itself unravels, and Iris is thrown into a series of alternate realities, each more unexpected than the last.

As she stumbles through these fractured versions of her life-encountering strangers who feel like home-Iris must confront the truth she's always avoided. If she wants to make it back to her own time, to the person who matters most, she'll have to stop running from who she was . . . and start becoming who she's meant to be.

Lost Time is a romantic journey through memory, regret, and redemption-a reminder that even when the past feels impossible to escape, it's never too late to change your future and find your faith.
