It's 1939, Nick and his family live in a lighthouse where they come to Winston Churchill's aid as the brewing storm with the Nazis heats up. But Nick's discovery of a time machine left by an ancestor takes him to the early 19th-century, where another fierce battle awaits. Meanwhile, his brave and crafty sister, Kate, works with master detectives to fend off the German submarines. Turmoil, danger, and a sense of duty hold the family together as they fight the good fight.
