Thanks to the combined forces of a comet and a lightning storm, a dog named Sophie travels in time from 1926 to the present, where she is taken home by Sam, an 11 year-old boy living in a run-down section of the city of Enterprise. Through a bit of sleuthing, Sam and his outspoken grandfather Horace discover the old neighborhood Sophie has apparently come from. With Sophie’s help, Sam travels back to 1926 to meet Sophie’s owner, another 11 year-old named Rollie. The two boys discover they have a lot in common—including the notorious Cheesebro gang that has terrorized Enterprise in both of their time periods! Together, the new friends hatch a plan to put a stop to the corruption, crime, and urban blight that has afflicted their city—and pave the way for a brighter, revitalized future.
