Based on the book by Terry Pratchett, the adventure begins for
thirteen-year-old Johnny Maxwell and his four friends when they come
to the aid of eccentric homeless woman, Mrs Tachyon, and are left
minding her trolley full of black bags while she is hospitalised. When
the children later visit her in hospital, Mrs Tachyon lets them into
the secret that her black bags- or 'Bags of Time- are special and can
be used to create a gateway to the past. The five youngsters end up
during the Blitz where fun and games turn serious when they quickly
realise the prejudices of the era. But when they return to their own
time, the gang discover they have somehow changed history as a result
Johnny's grandmother died in a bombing as a teenage girl meaning
Johnny's mother and, in turn, himself were never born. The children
are now in a race to fix the path in order to save the future but can
they succeed before the bombs start falling...?
