Spesso, quando a casa si sente oppresso e infelice, Tam scappa a rifugiarsi in una valle nascosta, tra le rovine della Fattoria Pensunpò. E un giorno, seguendo in mezzo a quei ruderi una vecchia stracciona e il suo cane, viene trasportato indietro nel tempo, all'epoca della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, quando la fattoria era ancora in piena attività. Là Tam fa amicizia con May, una strana bambina che, dopo aver trascorso una settimana sotto le macerie di una casa bombardata, si rifiuta di mangiare o dormire fra quattro mura. Allorché il ragazzo si caccia nei guai in quel mondo così simile eppure così diverso dal suo, sarà May a salvarlo, ma Tam non vuole rimanere con lei: ha troppa paura di trovarsi imprigionato per sempre nel passato... Riuscirà, prima o poi, a tornare nel suo tempo? E lui e la sua amica potranno mai incontrarsi di nuovo?
