Safety not guaranteed

Three journalists (or one journalist and two interns) from a small, locally distributed Seattle magazine travel to a small coastal town to investigate a classified ad. The ad requests candidates for a time travel experiment/partnership and the journalists think it might make for a good human interest story. One of the interns (Darius) is herself quite the depressed 20-something back in Seattle and has been so since the death of her mother several years back. Even the possibility of time travel pricks a hole in the shroud that has draped her life and off we go. All four main characters are opened to new understandings of life through the pursuit of this time-travel story and all four are changed in some way. Perhaps the biggest form of time travel here is them being yanked from the past and allowing them to live in the present. Well done.
4 stars (out of 5)
