Three African-American men while exploring a cave in Virginia, accidently get caught up in a time travel experiment taking place 200yrs in the future. These scientists have chosen this deep cave for their experiments. Choosing it for its isolation which allows it to remain unchanged over a long period of time, it also offers a safety factor that includes shielding living things from their experiments. Unfortunately, they did not take into account those who loved to explore these caves. The effect of the experiment sends two of the men into the year 1801. During some of the darkest years of American history. Especially for those of African descent.
