Roger and Ann Kristen were born in the year 2155 AD. They lived in a world that was evil, a world that was like a great black ship pulling away from the shore of sanity and civilization, roaring its black horn in the night, taking two billion people with it, whether they wanted to go or not, to death, to fall over the edge of the earth and the sea into radioactive flame and madness.

To escape this horror Roger and Kirsten travel back in time to Mexico in the year 1938 a time of fire works and tequila but on their trail to take them back, the Searchers, threatening them A Rabbit can hide in the forest but a fox can always find them.
