Timepiece (tentative title)

Elijah Miller is a certifiable genius and 19th century London's most eccentric character. By day, he works as a simple clockmaker at his father's clock shop in Westminster, but in his spare time, he locks himself away in his home to study and work on completing his greatest project; a working time machine. If he succeeds, he will not only make a huge contribution to science, but he will finally be able to prove that his late grandfather's stories about his own time travelling escapades were, in fact, true.

But his studies take a huge setback when he and his closest friend, Alessandra Wright, wake up one morning to find that they have unexpectedly traveled over 100 years into the future, into the year 2012. Elijah's time machine apparently works, but why was the pair suddenly thrust into the future? Why did Alessandra travel with him? Is there more to their traveling than what meets the eye? And will Elijah be able to figure out the secret to his time machine and replicate the conditions so that they might return back to their own time of 1895?
