In the future, the concept of traveling through time has been accomplished.

The controlling entity of most life in the future is under the programs of the government and the education fields. Both organizations are using this newfound scientific creation to enable the sending of promising students back into any time of their choice for research in their field of endeavor.

Robert Youst, a promising young athlete and English literature student, has been chosen to travel back to the year 1594 to settle his persistent quest of the actual life of the characters in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. His goal is to use the findings to continue his pursuit of becoming a history teacher.

On his return to his present real time, the people in charge of the time-travel facility discover that Robert had been sent to the wrong year and the wrong country.

Faced with the complete destruction of the facility, the faculty and technicians scramble to find out why and how this happened. With their investigation, a huge secret begins to unfold in Robert's life. This secret can be the complete downfall of the time-travel division and perhaps the government as well.

The only saving possibility remains--Robert must have the opportunity to return to the proper time and place originally set in place. The major problem now is whether or not to allow him to travel again, or something much more sinister will have to be considered--only time will tell!
