In the autumn of 2035 an American general makes a special offer to the Convict serving his sentence, and if he accepts the offer and carries out the mission, he can regain his freedom: he can be the fortunate son.

​

The mission relates to the assassinations of US President Gerald Ford in September 1975, 60 years earlier.

​

The secret operation is complicated by the fact that the Convict is leaving in an experimental time machine, and no one can be sure when or where he will arrive, and whether the mission will be successful.
