In 1948, thirteen-year-old Dan Higgins dreams of his future self in 21st century Adelaide, Australia.

In 2004, seventy-year-old Dan Higgins dreams of his thirteen-year-old self in Birmingham, England.

What if you knew then what you know now? Thirteen-year-old Dan finds out that it's not that simple when he tries to explain to his father what a computer is or how an ATM works. Only his three school friends, Carl, Tony and Wendy accept that his dreams of the future are real. Wendy wants Dan to discover the dates of imminent accidents so that they can try to stop them. But can they really change the future? And can they stop The Slasher, a serial killer terrorising Birmingham? Dan knows who the next victim will be, but no-one will believe him - except The Slasher!
