Parallel Theory is the story of Cameron, a neurotic, brilliant, and possible schizophrenic quantum physics professor who keeps having the same harrowing dream. When a bunch of scrambled letters and the mind-boggling extrapolations of Everett's Multiple Worlds Theory land him sprinting, headlong, into a forest, with a ticking bomb, the many strands of Cameron's past, present, and future begin to come together. Or is he still dreaming?
