Description
There is more than one conceivable future; nothing is fixed and immutable, our destiny cannot be foretold and all our tomorrows will always depend on all our yesterdays. So if just one event is changed the then the whole of the future will change with it.
New York 1939. There is optimism in the air; the future looks good. People are living the American Dream. 'The World of Tomorrow' proclaims the slogan over the entrance to the World's Fair as Tom Jordan walks in through the main gate. Together with his old college friends, Mike Mescal and Tony Gagliardi, they marvel at the future on display: the latest cars, the latest inventions - television, gadgets, robots to do the housework. This is America on the move and it looks great, but not everything is quite what it seems.
When Tom meets Carey, the daughter of multi-millionaire industrialist Warren Taylor, he is walking on air. They fall helplessly in love and life, Tom says, 'just couldn't get any better.' Then sure enough - it doesn't.
On a fishing holiday along the shores of Lake Champlain with Mike and Tony, the three young men stumble on a suspicious group led by a sinister US army sergeant, Henry Newman. The chance encounter will change Tom's existence abruptly. Arrested and accused of spying, secretly imprisoned and tortured by the FBI and the army, separated from Carey and desperate to find answers, Tom's life is unraveling. In a twist of fate he escapes only to find that Carey has left him for his best friend Tony. As his world falls apart he sets out to build a new life as an officer in the US army... and then he meets Dottie. Life is good again - but there are clouds on the horizon. As Europe is plunged into war and America is being drawn towards it, Tom again encounters the dangerous and mysterious Sergeant Henry Newman, and once more his world is turned upside down.
