Daniel Monroe spends his days walking around his neighborhood looking for the meaning of life in the faces of the people he meets. After an existential crisis, Monroe cashed out of his life of a corporate cog, leaving behind his nice apartment, cool friends and bright middle-management future. After four months of healing his damaged psyche, it was time to get back into the job market. His cashed out retirement account was running low and, of course, there was the pretty girl behind the counter at the neighborhood deli who didn't have much interest in an unemployed layabout.
As luck would have it, there is a job available at Serendipity Antiques, a shop that specializes in finding items no one else can. It's owner, Jaspar Cummings, is a little odd and he doesn't seem that interested in running a business. The store is a mess where valuable items are tossed aside and forgotten. It isn't long before Cummings lets Monroe in on a secret – Cummings works for a few select clients and is able to acquire almost anything because he is a able to travel in time. And what's more, he will soon give Monroe the device that makes it possible – a device that has been passed from one traveler to another for centuries. There is just one more job that needs to be done.
However, there is more to traveling in time than twisting a few dials.
