Veterinarian Zimmer was driving home with his dog Lightning on a rainy night. While driving on a familiar highway, the surrounding street lights suddenly began to flicker strangely. When the bright light dissipated, he and Lightning discovered that the world had completely changed - they had traveled 50 years into the future.
In this strange new era, suspended cars shuttle through the air, holographic projections replace electronic screens, and artificial intelligence assistants are everywhere. Even more disturbing, Zimmer's vintage pickup truck and 20th-century ID make him an immediate target of the futuristic technology company New Era.
When tests reveal that Lightning's body contains some key biological code that could change the future, Zimmer realizes that this time-travel was no accident. They must find their way home in this strange future world, and at the same time solve the mystery of why they were chosen to travel through - and the answer may be hidden in Lightning's unusual DNA.
