He meets and instantly falls in love with Tilly. Never able to stay long enough, Sam devises a method to extend his time in the past. However, the complications of love and historical events begin to upend his present. After learning of a tragic fire that claimed many lives and sealed the fate of the hotel, Sam is thrust into a desperate race against time to alter the past and save his true love.”
