Twelve-year-old Max stumbles upon a mysterious pocket watch in his grandfather’s attic that has the power to transport him through time. With each twist of the watch's dial, Max is whisked away to different eras—ancient Egypt, a medieval castle, and a futuristic city. But in each time period, he must solve a puzzle to return home. Max soon realizes that the watch is not just a simple device but part of a larger quest, with each puzzle leading him closer to unlocking the watch's true power.

Along the way, Max faces knights, time-traveling foes, and even a giant robot, discovering that someone else is also after the watch’s power. As he races through history, Max learns that courage, quick thinking, and determination are the keys to mastering time—and saving the future.
