Two years after being expelled from high school, Horace "Russ" Vale has started to get his life back on track. But living in the shadow of a major film studio has made Russ more than a little obsessed with movies. When Russ decides to make his own short movie, he cooks up a crazy plan to recruit the slightlyunhinged star of a hit teen soap opera. And gets himself into heaps of trouble in the process.
Just when everything falls apart, Russ is shocked to receive a message on his cell phone—from himself. This "Future Russ" gives him a chance to fix his mistakes by leaping twelve hours into the past. Russ can't resist, figuring the day can't get any weirder or worse.
But he couldn't be more wrong. Because as soon as Russ tampers with time and space, he sparks dangerous glitches he can't control, including alternate versions of himself. Russ's sanity and the lives of everyone he cares about are at risk if he can't find a way to regain control of his past, present and future.
In Extra Life, acclaimed author Derek Nikitas has written a riveting and pop-culture savvy thriller that surprises with every turn of the page.
