On the last day of school, in a...version of 1996, Kurt and his friends Andy, Birdie, and Dylan are enjoying the start of summer break by an abandoned farmhouse behind the 7-Eleven when two bullies jump them and force Birdie into the basement of the creepy house.
The night ends in terror after Andy goes to get Birdie, but Birdie runs out of the house screaming "something happened!" Everyone, scared, leaves the scene.
Andy, never quite himself after entering the house, ends the evening with an ominous warning to his friends: "Something big is going to happen. Soon. You'll know it when you see it."
The next morning, Kurt wakes up to complete chaos in what is to be the beginning of a journey no one could have imagined.
Kurt and his friends must fight the elements, escape the switchers, and find a switching device, all while bouncing between two worlds. Traveling time and distance, learning about each other, finding those they can trust, and hoping the new friends they find themselves with can help them get home before the switching window closes.
Permanently.
