What if you were the only person who believed your father didn’t kill your mother
And you pursue this your entire life
And you spend your time trying to find the real killer, while working as a CSI
But you don’t get very far
Until the day the killer strikes you with lightning and offers to look after you
Now he trains you to get fast, very fast; unsuspecting he’s the real killer
But then a clue from your mother’s case puts you on the right track
And we learn that you and the killer were present, in the past as adults, at your mother’s death
Because you got so fast, you could run backward through time
And if you don’t let her die again, humanity won’t survive without you
