On a distant planet a time machine is waking from several millennia of slumber while Jefferson Hayes seeks it's secrets. In the mean time Cal Wheams is taking time away from his writing to pursue one of his other hobbies, that of a toy maker. With the awakening of the machine a mysterious visitor will visit Cal and ask him to make a toy that will lead Cal into his own past, as well as pit him against one of the vilest villains in the galaxy. Now Cal must conquer the ghosts from his past in order to save his friends, and do it all before the time machine goes dormant for another dozen millennia.
