Cutter and the his loosely-organized ad hoc anomaly response team are called in to what seems like the murder of a man at a swimming pool, except that there’s no body. As unlikely as it seems, Cutter’s theory is that a prehistoric aquatic beast is involved, by way of an intermittent underwater anomaly that changes positions. At a nearby reservoir and swimming area, a creature is sighted again, and it deposits the remains of the missing swimmer for all to see. Cutter and Stephen lead a team of divers to find the anomaly underwater, only to see a diver accidentally pass through it, followed by the creature. Cutter theorizes that the anomaly could be shifting positions along a “temporal fault line,” an idea that meets with disbelief from Lester. When the missing diver’s body is recovered, with yet another hint that Helen is alive, Cutter can no longer keep his search for her a secret.
