Overview
Grieving over the death of his son, Jacob Lazar (C. James Roberts) connects with an alien visitor stranded on Earth. But Jacob tests their bond when he seizes the being's magical staff with the intent of traveling back in time and saving his son's life. This very act changes the alien's assessment of mankind's motivations and forces Jacob to choose between bringing back his son and saving humanity's future.
