At the other end of the world, a team of archaeologists is working on the ruins of a medieval village in the Dordogne, where they discover a room that has been sealed for over six hundred years. But in the headquarters of the project's financing company, the scholars will make an even more surprising discovery: the head of the mysterious multinational has invented a prototype of a time machine, which, in a daring attempt to retrieve Professor Johnson, the leader of the expedition who has vanished into a space-time tunnel, will project them into the year 1357, right in the middle of the Hundred Years' War. However, time travel turns out to be much more dangerous and complex than they had anticipated, and the characters become embroiled in historical events and deadly intrigues.
