Its 1964, and Abraham Lincolns daughter, Sarah, daydreams about meeting her father. Her mother, Joan, met Lincoln nine years earlier when he was transported to Evanston, Illinois, from his own
time and place for a day. When Sarahs stepfather, Will, a Lincoln scholar, doesnt return home from an overnight trip, Sarah and her mother have no way of knowing that he has traveled back in
time to 1833 in the same mysterious way Lincoln came forward. The two grow more and more nervous waiting for him to come home. A strangers phone call and the discovery of an abandoned truck
will push daughter, mother, and their old dog, Rusty, away from home in search of Will.
