Synopsis
In 1978, demographer and biblical scholar Brian Chaney is recruited by the government to test a secret time displacement vehicle by traveling into America's near future. What he and his fellow time travelers discover on successive missions paints an increasingly horrifying picture of racial civil war, nuclear devastation, and civilizational collapse.
