WILLIAM MATTHEWS (early twenties) and RACHEL PHILLIPS (early twenties) are students at CalTech and are going for the same internship. In order to settle who gets the internship they have a science-off to disprove each other's thesis'. They are surprised when they realize they had fun. William drops out from the internship so that Rachel can have it. They start a relationship that quickly turns serious despite protests. A few years later they get married. However their marriage turns sour as Rachel becomes frustrated not only with her career but with William's apparent neglect. William forgets that they have a date. He is sorry but Rachel has had enough and promptly ends the relationship.

William continues his work on time travel with DR. MICHAEL JEFFRIES (early forties) even though he is suppose to be working on another project. The funder- JED FOSTER (late sixties) for the project brings in Rachel, who is now a consultant, to see if he should pull William's funding. But William does it. He discovers how to time travel and just as Rachel is about to pull his funding, Rachel and William are sucked into the vortex and transported to 1999- the year they got married....
