Melly Hazelwood and Anny Beth Flix are part of a secret scientific project. It's the year 2085. Melly is 16 and Anny Beth is 18. But, in the year 2000, they were both in their hundreds. Thanks to Project Turnabout, they were given a chance to grow younger, along with fifty other men and women in her nursing home. But, when they signed up, they had no idea of the problems that would face them. First, for every year they de-aged, they lost the memories of what their lives had been like the first time around. They were told not to contact their families, who believed they were dead. One of the women couldn't handle it and tried to contact her son. When he didn't recognize her, she committed suicide. They were also told that there was an injection that would stop the de-aging at whatever age they wanted. But, instead, the injection just rapidly made a person grow old and die.
