After tinkering with the calibrator, Matt is convinced that what he has in his possession is a time machine. And by simply attaching a metal box to it, he learns to send things through time- including a pet-store turtle, which comes back no worse for wear.

With a dead-end job and a girlfriend who has left him for another man, Matt has nothing to lose by taking a time-machine trip himself. So he borrows an old car, stocks it with food and water, and ends up in the near future-under arrest for the murder of the car's original owner, who dropped dead after seeing Matt disappear before his eyes.
