The story revolves around themes of time travel and art theft, as it follows the character Dan Slane, who becomes embroiled in a complex scheme involving criminals from the future and extraterrestrial beings. The narrative begins with Dan Slane, who, while working as a security consultant for a wealthy art collector, uncovers a bizarre plot involving a time machine operated by two thieves. After a series of mishaps and encounters that lead him into the futuristic realm of a creature named Blote, Dan finds himself in a position to influence the fate of priceless artworks. As he navigates through inter-dimensional travel and shifting alliances, he discovers that the true interest of the Ivroy—a powerful race concerned with preserving art for humanity's legacy—transcends mere theft and extends to a grander purpose involving the evolution of his species. Ultimately, Dan is given a choice that impacts the future of humanity and underscores the interplay between art, identity, and one's role in the universe.
