Two families live in the same house, but during two time periods, 1971 and 2020. The current chaos of the world shakes up the earth, which allows the house to become a portal catapulting the two families back and forth through time. The hope is that they will learn from each other and take those lessons back to their respective time period. The play urges us to learn from history instead of repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
