When a tomboy mechanic Robin helps an amnesiac time traveler she can suddenly escape her lackluster life, but how can she learn to live in unlimited universes when she’s still lost in her own?
SYNOPSIS:
An explosion in the desert! From the calamitous dust emerges a mysterious figure, THE TRAVELER.
Near death he stumbles through the sand trying to locate his life-saving serum and as he’s about to ingest it he hears the whimpering of an old red hound dog, PAL, also on death’s door from the explosion.
Overcome by the cry of the dying dog Traveler instead gives Pal serum, sacrificing himself in the process.
ROBIN is tearing through the desert looking for Pal in her experimental sand-racer the “Doom-buggy” when a massive explosion envelopes the area in dust, if it were not the present day you would swear she was in the middle of the Manhattan project!
Robin races towards the area of explosion in case somebody needs help. She soon finds Pal who leads her to the unconscious Traveler who she is able to resuscitate. His humorous inter-galactic ramblings have her convinced that he has sunstroke and needs medical help. Unfortunately, her Doom-buggy is considered experimental for a reason stranding them in the desert at night fall.
Robin is pissed but Traveler shocks her adding validity to his ramblings by opening an interdimensional gateway to his ship. However, things go awry and they end up in prison on a hyper-commerce plant-based planet with a pay to play legal system. Luckily for them a terrorist intervenes at the last moment and they’re able to get back to the ship while accidentally saving the day.
Back on Earth the Traveler still has no memory and no place to go, so he just snacks and watches TV until Robin forces him to get up.
In an attempt to research Traveler’s past they try to access the ship’s logs but they’ve been deleted. Furthermore the nearly indestructible fail-safe living backup memory had been purposefully destroyed..
Their only clue is a list of coordinates that may be a trap…
A trap that is their only choice if they want to find out who the Traveler is and where he’s from.
Their quest to find Traveler’s identity spurs a series of larger-than-life adventures that explore concepts in theoretical science, history’s “What Ifs?”, and hard ethical questions. Including saving Medieval Europe from robot lawnmowers, Helping the first African American major league baseball player defeat an alien so they can win a bet on one of history’s most crucial games, and surviving a planet where the abandoned A.I. resident’s only moral guidance is from the brain of a dog.
Through characters like Robin’s GRANDAD and would-be alien terrorist HAROLD we learn about the tough path to redemption and to see people as they are and not who you project them to be. Recognizing that people are flawed and don’t have all the answers; but that’s alright because finding the answers is part of the adventure!
Through these adventures they challenge themselves to overcome personal limitations with humor, perseverance, and above all kindness; all while making friends and enemies along the way.
The season culminates with a time traveling ideologue killing Grandad back in the 1960’s civil rights movement leaving Robin with no place to call home, lost in time.
