The year is 1938. Max Parker is an eccentric, yet very smart fifteen year old. He is a logical thinker, a skeptic and believes that everything has a logical explanation. His uncle Connan Barker, not so much. His uncle Connan is a self proclaimed supernatural expert and travels quite often to places that are said to be haunted. Of course, none of them actually are. However Connan hears a rumor and travels to Skyline County in search of an actual haunting. Meanwhile, strange things begin to happen around Max. He finds that there are a few people around him who are harboring secrets, secrets that they'd give their lives to protect. Connan returns from Skyline County with a strange artifact. He finds that his nephew's best friend Blaire has gone missing and his life is falling apart. His world of logic and reason is crumbling. Connan, Max and his new found friend Hannah search for Blaire. Along the way they discover the existence of an ancient time machine created by the witches of old to rectify mankind's' mistakes. However it is incomplete and requires components just like the one Connan found in Skyline County. A time machine can be a very powerful thing. The worst part? They aren't the only ones interested in it.
