As the American Revolution ends, Daniel Rowland, a young farmer from Connecticut, unwillingly travels through time to find himself in the 21st century. Bewildered and awed by the technology and lightning-pace of modern life, he is considered to be an imposter despite his familiarity with obscure details of colonial life. With his wife and unborn child in the distant past, Daniel seeks to learn the fate of his family and his farm. Befriended by a professor who eventually accepts his authenticity, Daniel experiences crime and medical problems. Legal complications arise when he tries to reclaim his farm lost in the intervening centuries, finally getting help from a present day descendent. Daniel finds love and comes to realize the basic values of society can coexist with technology.
