What happens when your family road trip takes a wrong turn... into another century?

For the Hargroves, a tech-reliant family from suburban California, a journey east becomes a plunge into the impossible. Stranded in the desolate Nevada desert by inexplicable electronic failures, they stumble upon Salvation Gulch—a town thriving impossibly in the year 1888.

Forced to adapt to a world without smartphones, sanitation, or modern medicine, Bob, Carol, Chloe, and Leo must navigate the suspicions of wary townsfolk while confronting the unsettling strangeness of their new reality. Time behaves erratically, the landscape shifts, and history contradicts itself. But beneath the facade of a quaint frontier town lies a dangerous secret. Salvation Gulch is more than a place trapped in time—it's a prison that actively resists escape.

As they probe the edges of their confinement, the Hargroves uncover a terrifying truth: this is no accident. The town itself seems to be a conscious entity, its history a web of contradictions, its residents unknowingly trapped in a cycle of impossible events. Realizing they haven't just lost their way but have been chosen, the family must race against an unknown clock to solve the mystery of Salvation Gulch before they are erased by it, becoming permanent, forgotten residents of yesterday.

Can they escape the town that time forgot, or will they become permanent residents of yesterday?

West of Yesterday is a gripping blend of science fiction, historical survival, and family drama, exploring what happens when the past becomes a prison and the future is a world away.
