Will Menzies and his younger brother Jamie are visiting relatives in Scotland where Will comes into possession of a magic book that enables him with the gift of "Far Sight" - the ability to see into the past. This "magical eye" proves especially dangerous when Jamie steps through a time portal into the Scotland of centuries long ago. Will and Nan have no choice but to leap through the portal to find Jamie. But time in the past moves more swiftly than real time. A whole year has gone by in the one day that Jamie has time travelled, and when Will and Nan catch up with him, Jamie no longer remembers them and refuses to return to the present. Can these time travellers restore the future through the past?
