After her brother gets kicked out of her household for coming out to their parents, Calista Thakur longs for her brother's presence, hopelessly waiting for the day when he will reach out to her after moving into a new place. Working a boring accounting job, Calista comes home from a soul-sucking day, only to see a rent notice plastered on her front door. In agony, she resorts to searching for a place with a roommate. Fortunately, a woman named Talulla Faletulu reaches out to Calista after she begs for someone to be roommates with her on an online forum. 5 years later, curious about the experience, Talulla heads into a fortune-telling site to get her fortune read while Calista tags along. After the cryptic session, the front-desk lady of the site hands Calista an affirmation pamphlet. When the girls get home, in interest, Talulla urges them to try something from the pamphlet just for the heck of it. Though skeptical, Calista gives in to Talulla's encouragement, with the girls enacting an affirmation ritual from the pamphlet. When Calista excuses herself to the restroom, Talulla is left witnessing the whirlwind encompassing her room, swirling everything in its entirety. Shouting for Calista to come back, the both of them observe the wonder occurring in Talulla's room in shock. All of a sudden, it's as if a portal forms in their room, with a man stepping out, dressed in a suit, top hat, and trench coat. The portal dissipates with the whirlwind coming to a close; however, a mysterious man named Marvin Dicon suddenly appears in Calista and Talulla's apartment. After pressing him for questions due to the peculiar event, the girls find out that Marvin is from the past, specifically 1967. How did a simple affirmation ritual from a pamphlet gifted to the girls from a fortune-telling site cause time travel to occur? What are the girls left to do with a random man?

Elena headed towards the door. She was about to turn the doorknob when his next words froze her in place.
"How do you think you'll sister will react if she finds out what you do?" asked Lucas.
She slowly turned to face the two with a raised brow, "Meaning?"
"Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister."
She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin.
"No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously.
"We're just saying that it would be in your best interest, along with ours if you joined us." shrugged Lucas.
"You can't prove anything," she bluffed.
A devious smile speared across Cole's face while Lucas grinned wickedly, "Oh, we both know you don't believe that."
