Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth Yale clings to life. Her plan to save the Whizbang Machine backfires.

As her grandfather Jack feverishly works to save her, the Whizbang factory begins to topple down around them. To make matters worse, the Whizbang Machine is missing. Without it, their mission will come to an abrupt halt.

As Tunney's curse rages out of control, no one in the quaint Dutch town of Leiden is safe, and no one is free from suspicion either. With Elizabeth narrowly recovering, she and Grandpa Jack uncover a new set of clues left behind by her deceased father, Jesse, which includes a long-lost journal written by George Tunney. The prose inside raise further suspicion and cast the Yale family in an even darker light.

Each tick on the timeline must be investigated before Elizabeth's mother's 40th birthday―which is mere days away. If not, Elizabeth stands to lose her only remaining parent.

As they dig, the pair are sent on a wild chase that takes them into the dark underbelly of the Netherlands, into the city's canals looking for a sunken clock, through the private chambers of a Queen, and into the dark face of danger.

Will they gather the correct clues and stop the curse in time? Is someone among them pledging their allegiance to the other side? Regardless of the outcome, the ultimate question remains: Will someone in Elizabeth and Jack’s inner circle fall to the curse once and for all?
