Synopsis

It's been a great summer, and Scott and Liam aren't ready to go back to school just yet. When they find out their friend, Shelley, has invented a time machine, they all decide to go back to start their summer over. However, they go back in time a little too far! Their unintentional trip to the 1980s sets in motion a series of unexpected time travel, displacing Ancient Egyptians to nineteenth-century New York and meeting Liam's dad as a child. With the space time continuum completely messed up and Queen Shirley Temple running the world, can the boys rectify their mistakes and fix time?
