In his latest adventure, thirteen-year-old Stosh travels back in time to try to prevent Roberto Clemente's death but finds he can't change the past. When Stosh's great-grandson appears to escort him to an ecologically despoiled future, Stosh sees that his actions in the present can affect the future. Gutman ties Clemente's real-life idealism to the book's obvious message.
