Jack Christie and his best friend Angus enjoy playing their Point-of-Departure World War 1 video game although they do not realize what an impact World War I has on their present day lives. How could something in the past affect the present? After Jack and Angus discover a secret library in Jack's house that used to belong to Jack's father, their adventure begins. When the boys bring in an artifact found in the library to show their history teachers, they learn about things that they thought were impossible and somehow end up in 1914. They learn that time travel does exist.
