The world in 2052 is a pretty wonderful place - no wars, no poverty, no famines - but all humankind is about to be destroyed because of a small miscalculation in a scientific experiment a century earlier set off a chain reaction that will contaminate the Earth with a lethal amount of radiation. With only hours before the end of the World, a 21st Century scientist attempts to send a message to colleagues a hundred years in the past to prevent the mistake using a 20th Century man`s new time machine.
