Scott Hardy is a quantum physicist ahead of his time. He theorized that ghosts were manifestations of alternate universes, and he spent most of his life proving those universes are real, and we can travel to them. When he asked the government for funding, they took his project away from him. Twenty years later, the government thought they solved the critical problem of keeping matter from Earth permanent in other universes.

Hardy reluctantly agrees to help, but when he arrives at the secret base where the government runs his project, attempts are made on his life. It seems the project isn't exactly secret, and someone wants it to fail. Can Hardy help the project team get their people home before their time runs out?
