Plot

A comedy that pays tribute to the science fiction genre -- specifically, the sub-genre of time travel. But here the alternate reality is contemporary New York City where past and future experiences of trust, commitment and denial are cleverly put to the test. Just as Ruby is beginning to relish her first-ever healthy relationship, Sam begins muttering about being a time traveler from the year 2470.

Ruby Weaver has man trouble: she tries to fix them, so she's stuck herself with a string of losers. Her current lover, Sam Deed, seems different: he's sweet, tender, just in from Dubuque. As Ruby tells her therapist about Sam, flashbacks reveal--someone who is not quite of this world. In fact, he informs her that he's from the future: the year 2470. Ruby's sure he's delusional, but most of the time she wants to keep him--and maybe fix him. He seems sane enough, but has he told her the real story? What is he up to? And who is Chrystie Delancey?
