Time Before Time

In the year 2147, time travel has become a reality, but it is strictly controlled by the Temporal Guard. Sergeant Jack Rourke is tasked with apprehending a rogue scientist, Dr. Aris Thorne, who has stolen a time-travel device and intends to alter history for his own nefarious purposes. Rourke must pursue Thorne through different eras, facing dangerous obstacles and ethical dilemmas as he races against time to prevent a catastrophic paradox.
