In 2405, Sara, a Martian archeologist, studies an old, glossy wooden box, inlaid with a woman's image, and accidentally triggers a machine that brings sexy scientist and womanologist, Kendar, from the future. She learns that women no longer exist on planet Mars in the future. And it's her fault. Kendar's life's work has been the study of Sara Tolliver's doomed attempt to shut down the machine that ultimately obliterates the female population. In a race to interpret ancient Martian writings and find the truth about Sara's heirloom chest, together they have a second chance to save all females, including Sara. They work feverishly to learn the secret to going back in time, into a past that holds the key to the future, to love itself. Failure is not an option. Because failure means Kendar loses Sara to the same disaster that cost the world everything.
