Description:

Perfect
Summer, 1972: Two seconds have been added to the Atomic clock so as to counteract the irregularities in the Earth’s rate of rotation. Eleven-year-old Byron has been told this but still struggles to understand. What might it mean? In the claustrophobic heat, he and his friend begin Operation Perfect, a hapless mission to rescue Byrons mother from impending crisis.

Winter, present day: As frost creeps across the moor, Jim cleans tables in the local caf, a solitary figure struggling with OCD. His job is a relief from the rituals that govern his nights.

Little would seem to connect them except that two seconds can change everything.
If your world can be shattered in an instant, might time also put things right?
