Present, A Few Months. Flashbacks to 10 Years Ago.
Takes place entirely in a small town. A run down two-story house, a high school hallway, a baseball field, a grocery store, a classic diner, its kitchen and basement, a secluded forested lake, and a run-down road lined with liquor shops and a movie theater. In addition, a very large variety of parallel universes, including a nuclear wasteland, a futuristic city, an abandoned laboratory overgrown with plants, and a dinosaur ranch. Most parallel universes are just variations of the main small town.
Eight years pass and ANDY (17) is in high school working a job to support his recently unemployed dad, CHARLIE (40s). Piper is happily dating someone else, and Dawn has died some time ago. In the hopes of covering for his dad’s lost income, Andy asks for a job at the diner. The owner and sole employee, HARRY (60s), is reluctant to hire anyone else, but Andy convinces him to take on another worker. While working the night shifts, Andy notices strange people start to come in, all of them speaking unearthly languages and dressed in obscure ways.

Andy soon learns these people are inter-dimensional travelers, and the diner is a hub for them to take a break in. Depressed by his life and craving to experience the worlds these patrons come from, Andy obtains his own universe-hopper, called a Jump, and travels to another universe.

Universe B is perfect in every way—there’s no war, no poverty, and in this universe, Andy and Piper are in a committed relationship. Ecstatic at the chance to finally date his life-long crush, Andy gleefully gets intimate with Universe B Piper, who thinks he’s the same as his counterpart. However, before...
