Theory of Lavendar

Andy, an archeologist, is searching for answers about space Aliens in a southwestern desert in Texas. It turns out he became so obsessed with searching for evidence of alien visitations that he never visited his mother in the years leading up to her death. His regret is so powerful he develops a viable time travel theory that is implemented in the future. Future Andrew breaks temporal law to try and convince his past self to visit his mother and is quantum-imprisoned by future bureaucrats.
