Eleven-year-old Kevin (Kal-El Tuck) - who has a passion for history and a vivid imagination - is delighted to discover a portal that can transport him to various places and time periods throughout history. After entering this parallel world, he joins a band of time-travelling thieves led by Penelope (Lisa Kudrow) as they protect a stolen map from Wrongness (Jemaine Clement).
