Jon and Gus, science fiction fans from Finland with a penchant for fist bumping and pop culture references, travel to the Portland Rose City Comic-Con to see their hero, Dr Wells, the founding father of sci-fi. At the convention, tragedy strikes, leading Jon and Gus to an adventure of—science fiction fans’—lifetime. Discovering and accidentally activating the alien, time bending device, which they name, Black Table, Jon and Gus jump from world to world, finding new allies, friends—a boy called Kentho and his family—and new enemies. While trying to figure out how to get home, the duo uses their pop culture knowledge to overcome one problem after another. With the new allies, Gus helps the advanced race to build a unique space ship, Unity, to stop the galactic entity, Swarm. In order to complete their mission, they sacrifice their chance to return home.
