Finding your next obsession

Professor John Smith (James Dorman), a burned-out academic, crosses paths with a wild-eyed man claiming to be the one and only H.G. Wells (Jonathon Carley, Doctor Who). Wells isn’t just a historical figure—he’s a time traveler stranded in the present, desperate to fix his damaged time machine. With the help of two curious students, Amy Taylor (Elizabeth Coverdale) and William Jones (Brandon McCaffrey), they must race against time itself to avoid a catastrophic collision of timelines. Can they repair the machine before history is rewritten?
