Plot[]

Gwendolyn Shepherd's 16th birthday revealed more secrets and surprises than she bargained for. On this day, her time travel gene was activated for the first time, allowing her to jump back in time for a few hours every day. Since then, she has had to work with the mysterious secret lodge of the Count of St. Germain, whom she calls " Rubin " or Raven as the twelfth and last of the time travelers, in order to carry out controlled jumps in time with the help of a device, the "chronograph". There she was met with nothing but suspicion, especially when it turned out that her biological parents were the renegade time travelers Lucy and Paul, called "Sapphire" and "Tourmaline", who stole the 2nd chronograph and were hiding in the past.

On missions to the previous gene carriers, she is constantly accompanied by Gideon de Villiers, the male time traveler of her generation. To overcome the many life-threatening situations, they learned to trust each other and ultimately fell in love. But when Gwendolyn learns from Count St. Germain that Gideon's feelings for her were only an act at his behest, she is deeply hurt.

Gwendolyn has now broken off contact with the lodge, only her best friend Leslie, her great-aunt Maddy and the butler Mr. Bernhard know that they use the second chronograph that she and Leslie found between the walls of their house to see their parents every day in the previous one Century visited. Lucy and Paul have gathered a lot of evidence that suggests that the lodge, especially the Count, has less charitable goals.

Gideon, on the other hand, studies the memoirs of Count St. Germain, which Paul entrusted to him on the condition of protecting Gwen. The hard-to-interpret prophecies indicate that Gwen's love for him will lead to her death.

The imminent event of obtaining the long-awaited cure by combining the blood of all the gene carriers who are read into the chronograph prompts Mr. Whitman to install himself as lodge master and get rid of inconvenient staff like Mr. George and Mrs. Smith. The contact persons in all national and international institutions, companies and secret services are activated in order to be able to implement the big plan.

Gwen's cousin Charlotte, despite the great disappointment of not being the chosen time traveler, still feels committed to the Lodge and reports her suspicions that Gwendolyn is secretly using the second chronograph. But after the lodge's guards not only ransacked Gwen's room but also broke into Gideon's apartment, knocking out his younger brother Raphael, she begins to question herself and the lodge's greater goals. Mr. Bernhard, who turns out to be Gwen's nephew, hid the chronograph in time, but since Gwen is now in immediate danger, he takes her with the device to a safe hiding place, Lucy and Paul's cottage.

Gideon is commissioned by the lodge to deliver a message to Count St. Germain in the past, so the count finds out about the new developments and immediately has Gideon locked up. When Gideon jumps back to the present tied up, Mr. Whitman is waiting for him and records a video for Gwen in order to exchange his life for the second chronograph, because this device only needs Gideon's blood to obtain the mystical cure. Gwen, who continues to visit her parents in the past every day, hatches a plan with them to save Gideon's life and at the same time prevent the lodge's impending world domination.

She goes into the terms of the handover, which is to take place in 1786 during “ Bonfire Night ” in the Count’s house. Since she can now trust Charlotte, Gwen instructs her cousin to visit Gideon in his prison and secretly give him the key so that he can escape that night and come to her aid. The plan only works to a limited extent because Gideon cannot prevent the count from taking blood from him before he escapes. Even his timely arrival at the delivery site cannot prevent the creation of the panacea, which in reality grants immortality. Gwen and Gideon are killed, the Count takes the serum, transforms into his younger self and gives up his disguise as Mr. Whitman in the present. In his certainty of victory, he does not allow the dead bodies of the lovers to be disposed of; they are taken away by Mr. Bernhard, Charlotte and Raphael.

But Gwen comes back to life; she seems to be immortal as the child of two gene carriers. She cannot and does not want to accept Gideon's death. In her great grief, she longs to return to her parents and discovers that she can make targeted jumps in time even without a chronograph. A new courage to live arises in her and she is determined to fight for Gideon. Much better prepared and trained in Krav Maga , she travels again to Bonfire Night and is finally able to overpower the Count and heal Gideon's injuries with the resulting elixir, the immortalizing Philosopher's Stone .

In a café in the 1920s, she drinks the tincture she saved and becomes mortal again.
