There's no time like the present, but there's no place like Yester Year...

When Paula Frederick gets a weekend job on Dream Rock, a former prison island that now serves as the world's largest leisure destination, she can hardly believe her luck.

Dream Rock's outlandish surroundings are a welcome break from her studies. Paula's fully costumed role within the island's smallest zone, a medieval-themed amusement park called Yester Year, seems set to allow for even more immersive fun than she imagined.

Not even hazing from some mean-spirited colleagues can dampen Paula's spirits — at least until a trip through the wrong door reveals that the old stories about some kind of mysterious vortex beneath the island might have been more than fanciful rumours, after all.

Full immersion in the world of centuries gone by was all fun and games... when there was a way back.
