GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

An evil U.S. president uses his influence to illegally take over a time-travel research facility in order to change the outcome of an election, by murdering his lifelong foe’s grandmother in the past.

A brave, young and naive time-travel apprentice volunteers to take a one-way trip back in time to stop the president's sinister deeds.

SYNOPSIS:

The year is 2092. A corrupt U.S. president has seized control of a research facility dedicated to the study of history through time travel.  He uses the time chamber to travel back in time, to kill a family member of his opponent, so that the president elect will cease to exist, thus keeping himself in power. The top scientist of the facility chases after him into the chamber to try and stop him, but is immediately shot by a Secret Service Agent. Both the president and the scientist travel back into time. The immediate results are devastating. The president has somehow created a horrific paradox, where planet Earth has been cast into nuclear winter and except for those in the protective facility, mankind no longer exists. One young man among them, volunteers to travel back in time, in an attempt to stop the president from performing his evil deed, and restore the correct timeline of the world and its people.
