While heading to his car after a long day where nothing seemed to go right, Wallace Somerfield is startled by a sudden pop that lands him on his ass, and a stranger dressed as a Victorian gentleman offers him a hand up. Thomas claims to have journeyed to the future via a time machine he invented, but he hasn't planned what to do now that he's here. Wallace ends up taking him home for the night and introducing him to twenty-first-century amenities--such as gay romantic movies on DVD. One thing leads to another, leaving Wallace to wonder: can they find true love, or will Thomas disappear as suddenly as he appeared?
