Do you ever get that creepy feeling that something just isn’t right? That’s exactly what happens to Max. Every time he daydreams or drifts off in his thoughts he feels something… a presence, lurking nearby. Things get weirder when Max runs into a mysterious professor at his uncle’s bookstore which only confirms his suspicions. The old man informs Max that time is being sucked out of the planet by invisible bandits, stolen from unsuspecting humans one breath and one sneeze at a time, and stored in a central vault. With the help of his best friends, Derek and Samantha, Max must harness his curiosity and find passage to this place called Nemesis to stop the sticky-fingered time thieves and halt their planned invasion. But when the professor goes missing and the clock starts ticking, Max discovers far more than he imagined.
