The scientist behind the project and his car are zapped from the year 2031 to 1817's Switzerland where he encounters Victor Frankenstein, shortly after the murder of his young brother by the monster. In a mix of fiction and fact, while attempting to prevent further tragedies, he becomes involved with Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein.
