It has a few uses. It can refer to the time that something must be done. For example:
"The homework is due Friday."
"The book is due (back) in a week." The "back" can be used if you're talking about returning (i.e. taking BACK) a book to a library.
"Due to" means "as a result of" or "because". For example:
"He doesn't go outside due to his allergies."
"I can't return the book due to the fact that I set it on fire."
"In due time" is an idiomatic phrase meaning "in a reasonable amount of time; not soon necessarily, but not so late as to be a problem." For example:
"We'll get home in due time."
"When are you going to return the book?"
"In due time. Don't worry."
