Wealthy astronomer Roger Stone makes an astounding discovery that puts time travel within his reach. He shares his secret with his friends Ken, Nick, and Dave. He then startles them by proposing to finance a trip for the three of them through time back to the fifth century BC. Their initial reaction is outright refusal.

Ken West is a scholar and a university professor of Latin and Ancient Greek. He is also an insecure lovelorn man who desperately wants a woman’s love but hasn’t found one to share his life.

Nick Napoli is a handsome electronic genius who flits from woman to woman leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him. In reality he is a lonely man who craves adventure.

David Braun is a highly successful businessman with the Midas touch. Married twice, he loses both wives to tragic deaths. The loss of two women leaves him a shattered man, fearful of making another marital commitment.

After much soul searching and discussions among themselves the three men agree to start preparations for the trip. Then a mysterious occurrence decides the issue and they journey to fifth century BC Greece where they live out the rest of their lives.
