Perry Nelson is driving his car when he has a blowout and goes off the road falling over a cliff. When he wakes up is rescued by Diana begins but for him a lot of confusion starts because the girl tells him that it’s January 7, 2086 me he had the accident on July 12, 1939.

In a century and a half, the American society changed enormously and sometimes for Perry Nelson it’s really difficult to adapt to new customs. To him, to get used to the new situation will mean above all to question his old beliefs. Social changes will be the most difficult for him to understand and accept.
