And when he tells he’s a time-traveler, and that they’re close friends seven years in the future, she’s ready to call the police.

But Maggie’s future is Chuck’s past, and he has the ability to foretell events—and he convinces her that he’s not completely crazy. In fact, he’s there to enlist her aid in talking himself—the seven years younger version of himself—out of developing his theories for time travel. A rogue agency has hijacked his time machine and are using it to overthrow the U.S. Government.
