Maya and Tim live in a future powered by coal, and kids over eight must work for a living, but reality is not what it seems.

After receiving an unexpected message warning him to check the server logs at the café, Tim and Maya go to meet the mysterious sender, who initially appears to be a bag lady but is, in fact, from an old, eccentric, wealthy Way Station family. She takes Tim and Maya to the disused top floor of the Ashton Towers, where she reveals her involvement in a hundred-year-old society trying to understand the actions of an elusive and dangerous group that has been changing history.

Tim’s gopher server project has inadvertently brought him, Maya, and the café under the scrutiny of this organization, and the Europa café’s future may be threatened as a result.
