One minute I’m in an underground cave on a special ops mission, and the next thing I know, I’ve travelled through time. My life became prehistoric pretty damn fast. Woolly mammoths and sabertooth tigers - and no other humans in sight. Five years later, I’m still stuck here. What I really want is a woman. When a flash of lightening brings rain, I’m worried about my fire going out. Turns out that’s the least of my concerns. Because there’s a new storm in this Paleolithic place. Her name is Skylar.

Finding my best friend is my one and only mission. I thought maybe she’d been kidnapped, hurt, lost – I never imagined time travel. When I slide into a prehistoric lagoon, I know she must be here. Somewhere.
