The year is 2097. Seventeen-year-old Jaynie is inadvertently transported back in time to Civil War-era Virginia and picked up by a traveling minstrel show. Her twin, Jason, is sent back by their scientist father to collect Jaynie. Jason meets Daniel, a runaway slave, and the two travel together for the three weeks it takes to find the girl. Along the way they are jailed, escape in a Confederate air balloon, and spend two days in a cave with members of the Underground Railroad. A strong bond grows between the two and they become "more like brothers than friends." They discover that the minstrel is really a Confederate officer with a plan to shoot and kill the many Yankee officials who plan to be in his audience. A stroke of luck, coupled with the assistance of the minstrel's female friend, foil the assassination plans and the twins escape back to 2097. Their three-week experience teaches them not only American history, but an understanding of their own care and concern for each other, and the true meaning of friendship.
