A Plague is on its way and Dad reckons it will wipe out everyone on earth. Everyone that is except Nat and Fiona and their parents. Oh, and of course their bitzer, Ferdy. How come? There's something weird waiting in the garage. Something that made their Dad vanish for three weeks. Now it's going to fling them into a safer future. But the future isn't safe. It's a strange and dangerous place. Especially when you get stuck in fast forward, hurled toward the end of space and time.
