A college student and his younger, hapless brother come upon a time machine device (a belt, in fact, ostensibly created by their brilliant physicist older brother) and try to use it to get rich. Or at least happy. They fail repeatedly but, unbeknownst to them, they are a tremendous success to their brother’s rival who seeks to control time-travel itself. The key to the latest physical theories center around the existence of a young woman who lives between space-time curves naturally. Meddling from all sides has made the girl’s situation dangerous, and to save her, one brother must—for reasons only understandable in the small space where theoretical physics and Nagarjuna Buddhism meet—make the ultimate sacrifice. Or weasel out of it.
