The cast of characters comes from ages that covers more than 600 years, from the late 21st Century to Anasazi natives who populated the area before Columbus discovered America. Follow the characters as they try and survive in a time period that none have every seen. A silent film actress from 1920 falls in love with an Army Captain from 1872. A conquistador from 1632 operates video equipment. A mountain man from 1824 fights a prehistoric cave bear. All they want to do is to just go home.
