In the second book, "Only Time Will Tell", we move to present day and meet Scott Andres, a young widower who decides to leave the family's lucrative business to become a philanthropist. When his boyhood friend and college professor Finn O’Rourke tells Scott that he perfected his time traveling cylinder, the two begin an adventure traveling into history to provide relief to the peoples of the past.
