Description: In 2006 comic book dealer John Sherkston decides to break up with his physicist boyfriend, Taylor Esgard, on the very day Taylor announces he's finally perfected a time machine for the U.S. government. John travels back to 1986, where he encounters "Junior," his younger, more innocent self. When Junior starts to flirt, John wonders how to reveal his identity: "I'm you, only with less hair and problems you can't imagine." He also meets up with the younger Taylor, and this unlikely trio teams up to plot a course around their future relationship woes, prevent John's sister from making a tragic decision, and stop George W. Bush from becoming president.
