- The story of Australia's most significant environmental battle to save the remote Franklin River from being dammed by a hydroelectric project in the 1980s, as told through the lens of a current-day solo rafting adventure.
- When Tasmania's Hydro-Electric Commission planned to build a dam on the Franklin River, the Wilderness Society mobilised to protect it. Franklin recounts this seminal environmental protest through the eyes of Oliver Cassidy, who retraces the journey on the World Heritage-listed river taken some 40 years before by his late activist father.
- Franklin is a brilliant but socially awkward scientist who has spent his entire life working on a time machine. He is convinced that time travel is possible, and he is determined to use his invention to prevent a global pandemic that he knows is going to happen in the future.
Franklin finally succeeds in building a working time machine, and he travels back in time to the year 2020, just before the pandemic begins. He manages to stop the spread of the disease, but his actions have unintended consequences.
Franklin's interference with the past creates a new timezone, one in which the world is a very different place. He soon discovers that the pandemic he prevented was not the only global disaster that was averted. In this new timezone, climate change has caused widespread devastation, and humanity is on the brink of extinction.
Franklin realizes that he has made a terrible mistake. He must now find a way to undo his actions and restore the original timezone. However, he soon learns that this is not as easy as it sounds.
Franklin's journey takes him to all corners of the world and to different points in time. He meets a cast of colorful characters, including a wise old woman who knows the secrets of time travel, a brave warrior who is fighting to save the future, and a mysterious stranger who may be his only hope.
Along the way, Franklin must learn to face his own fears and insecurities. He must also learn to trust others and work together to save the world.
In the end, Franklin succeeds in restoring the original timezone, but not before he has learned some valuable lessons about life, love, and the consequences of his actions.
