      Jedno nedělní říjnové dopoledne v Londýně mladý Kit míří za svou dívkou Mínou na nákupy, ale osud ho zavede do temné uličky, kde potkává svého pradědečka, který opustil rodinu a nikdy se nevrátil. Jak je možné, že ještě žije? Společně odcházejí do hospůdky, která vypadá jako turistický skanzen, ale turisté nikde. Mína nevěří Kitovi, že byl s pradědečkem, a tak se rozhodne, že ho doprovodí zpět do uličky, aby jí vše ukázal. Tím však spouští řetězec událostí, které ji zavedou do jiné dimenze. Mína se ocitá v Čechách v roce vlády císaře Rudolfa II., aniž by to tušila. Potkává pekaře, který jí nabízí cestu do Prahy, kde společně zažívají slávu díky představení kávy a dostávají se na císařský dvůr. Mezitím Kit se svým pradědečkem hledá způsob, jak Mínu najít a vrátit ji zpět, přičemž cestují různými časy a místy. Cestování mezi dimenzemi přitahuje nejen vědce a dobrodruhy, ale i desperáty, jako je hrabě Burley se svými hrdlořezi, kteří jim jsou neustále v patách. Klíč k úspěchu spočívá v Mapě, kterou si objevitel Arthur Flinders-Petrie nechal vytetovat na kůži, aby ji měl vždy u sebe. Cesta vpřed patří tomu, kdo zná cestu.
