First Strike

High school outcast Thomas Jerkings accidentally kills his aggressive teacher, Mr. Gonjhilk, during a confrontation and hides the body. When the corpse mysteriously disappears and a threatening note appears, Thomas’s best friend Forget begins acting strangely. As reality begins to distort around him, Thomas suddenly awakens in a jungle in a distant timeline alongside two survivors, Z-Kid and a silent man named Ugg. Their brief alliance is interrupted by armed forces led by a familiar face—Forget himself.

After escaping into the jungle river, Thomas learns that Z-Kid and Ugg have been surviving in this timeline for months. When a mysterious armored soldier named Lance Brodsky hunts them through the fog, Z-Kid’s strange visions of the future allow him to prevent Thomas’s death. As the group questions Lance, the truth begins to unravel: they are in the year 2035—and Forget is leading the mission searching for them.

While attempting to climb out of the jungle, Thomas and Z-Kid are ambushed when Ugg is kidnapped by special forces led by the calculating Gus. Lance secretly betrays the group and alerts the soldiers to their location. In a desperate escape up a cliff face, Z-Kid uses his powers to control Thomas’s body and help him survive the attack. From below, Lance delivers a chilling ultimatum: surrender to Forget, or Ugg dies.

While Ugg is transported to Forget’s mysterious base, Thomas and Z-Kid return to Redwood High searching for answers about the paradox that changed their lives. In the school’s basement they discover a portal to another timeline where Thomas witnesses an aged, broken version of Forget trapped in an endless repeating day. As reality begins collapsing around them, Thomas suddenly discovers he can rewind time—but their escape leads them straight into the hands of Forget and Gus.

Captured and taken to Forget’s base, Thomas learns the horrifying truth: breaking the timeline trapped Forget in an endless cycle where he has spent years hunting Thomas across dimensions. Meanwhile, Z-Kid is tortured as his prophetic powers are extracted, revealing he was the seventh experiment in Forget’s attempt to create a savior. When a portal opens back to the day it all began, Z-Kid makes a shocking choice that threatens to shatter reality forever.

Reality fractures as multiple timelines collide. While Thomas and Forget struggle to survive inside a collapsing anomaly, Z-Kid rises to power in another dimension, hunting every version of Forget across the multiverse. When the timelines merge again, the survivors awaken in a strange frontier town ruled by Sheriff Boatswain Bucks. But a single name—Forget—triggers a violent reaction that leaves the group’s fate hanging in the balance.
