They say that we are all, every one of us, travellers in time, and that it is the old who are furthest from home.

But what happens when a group of young and ambitious people, individuals who have risked everything to escape from the oppressions and tyrannies of their world, find themselves effectively marooned, abandoned, and then - even worse - rescued several hundred years in their own future?
