Seventeen-year-old Aimee Roh has Sensory Time Warp Syndrome, a rare condition that causes her to time travel to a moment in her life when she smells something linked to that memory.

When Aimee disappears for nine hours into a memory of her estranged mom\u2014a moment Aimee has never remembered before\u2014she becomes distraught.

Desperate for answers, Aimee travels to Korea, where she unravels the mystery of her memories, the truth about her mother, and the reason she keeps returning to certain moments in her life.
