The Backstep Project features an elite, covert military intelligence team with the ability to allow one person to step back in time for precisely seven days to undo catastrophic events. Using untested equipment with limited fuel, the "back-step" team must attempt to rectify only the most cataclysmic events, and the clock is always ticking. The Backstep Project is our last line of defense against the catastrophic machinations of both nature and humanity. We shall only alter history when the implications of the present are so devastating that the future of world is jeopardized.

The Backstep Project revolves around the "Sphere," a time-travel device made possible by technology reaped from the wreckage of an alien spacecraft which crashed in 1954 in Roswell, New Mexico. We discovered that by altering an object gravitational polymetry, the object would shift in time within a small area that we call a "temporal displacement field."
