Time is an ordinary woman turning 40 whose life suddenly undergoes a dramatic change as she's walking along in broad daylight to her safe, boring job. Three boys kidnap her and whisk her to their present: a lab in the future. Their prof is not amused. The boys had promised never again to kidnap people from the past, he reminds them. He orders them to dump her where they took the others: her future, their past. The Nasty Time, they call it. But while they leave her alone in order to prep the time travel cube, a bikini-clad girl slips in and instructs her on how to build a time machine to get back home. But it's all gibberish to Time; she doesn't want to time travel, and she doesn't want to learn . . . until the boys dump her in The Nasty Time. It's 2411. She's still turning 40. And she wants to go home. But she can only do so if she learns to believe in herself.
