In the drought-ravaged 1930s, Frank usurps the Joad farm and casts out his tubercular sister-in-law Luna with her children Billy and Anne. The pair discover a cellar doorway that opens onto a 2026 metropolis overflowing with discarded near-expiry food and medicine. They haul supplies back to treat Luna, then realize plain Taxco silver trinkets from their era command fortunes in the future. Trading the jewelry buys the tuberculosis drugs she needs. A news alert reveals their vanished father Hank is fated to die in a 1933 coal mine disaster, prompting the siblings to enlist 2026 police in a rescue attempt. Reunited, Hank leads a campaign to reclaim the property, and the family channels future goods into a low-cost store that wins over the starving community. With allies from 2026 — Earl, Andrew's household and Leo — they drive Frank from power and restore the farm.
