Paradox

Dr Christian King, a world-renowned astrophysicist, claims to have received a series of images from space. The images show fragments of an event, an explosion in which many are killed. Shockingly, Dr King claims the disaster is yet to happen. It will take place in 18 hours time. Is this an elaborate warning of a terrorist attack, or could it be something else? Uncertain, DI Rebecca Flint and her team investigate Dr King and the images. But as the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle come together, it becomes clear that this is a chain of events which no person could possibly predict or plan. With time running out a tragedy drawing closer DI Flint begins to contemplate the impossible - that the images might not be a coded warning or an elaborate threat, but a genuine glimpse of the future.

Rebecca works to change the future and save a boy's life, but with minutes to spare, she learns of a second death -- that of Ben Holt.

Rebecca tries to stop a serial rapist due to commit a violent attack and murder in a few hours, but begins to question the responsibility involved in seeing the future and worries she might even be helping to cause the incidents she tries to stop.

The team receive double the amount of images in what appears to be their most unfathomable mystery so far. The images seem to be predicting a robbery, a fire and multiple deaths, but how can they trace so many clues in so little time? One of the images last time was random; are some of these the same? How do they know which images relate to the event they are supposed to stop and which ones they can trust?

The team receives images more intimate than anything they previously dealt with when every image points to a member of the team along with teenagers shot dead -- and Rebecca's hand holding the gun.
