This would mean that Frank would be 18 years older (and presumably healthy if the vaccine worked) but in reality Polly would only be an hour or two older (the time that it took to time travel). Unbeknownst to her, the date of her arrival has been changed from 1993 to 1998. Immediately there are problems with Polly’s time travel. Frank doesn’t want Polly to go, however, she convinces him that it is the only way that he has a chance of surviving and they make a plan to meet at the Houston International Airport on Septemwith a backup plan of meeting at the Flagship Hotel in Galveston on any Saturday in September if the airport meet-up doesn’t work. Frank is not wealthy and has no health care but Polly is desperate to save him so she agrees to time travel to 1993 through a corporation called Time Raiser. Soon Frank is sick and while there is a vaccine available for everyone, it is not very effective and only the wealthy or people with good health care plans actually get access to the vaccine that has any possibility of working. An accident at a disease control agency leads to a deadly virus pandemic that infects not only the United States, but most of the world in a matter of days. When they left Buffalo, they had no idea what the next few days would have in store for them. They decide to take a road trip to New Orleans, however, a wrong turn ends up with them landing in Galveston, Texas.

It is 1980 and Polly and Frank live in Buffalo and are in love.
