In 2018, Gavin was flying his plane when he accidentally flew over a sinkhole in the Mojave Desert, which caused him to have a vision of the pre-historic past. Due to his vision, he lost control of his plane and crashed. He continued to have visions of the world below.

Because of the continuation of these visions, Gavin started to drink heavily to cope. His heavy drinking resulted in him and Eve separating, taking their children and relocating to Los Angeles.

## Series

When the La Brea Sinkhole opened, much to Gavin's dismay, Eve and Josh were some of the people to fall in. Gavin started seeing Eve and Josh in his visions, and knew they were alive. He has a hunch that his visions are from prehistoric times, so when he finds Eve’s wedding ring, he begs to have it carbon dated.

He and his daughter, Izzy, were recruited by Dr. Nathan from DHS to help assist with a rescue mission when DHS find out the ring was carbon-dated from 10,000 BC.

Gavin works with Homeland Security and urges Dr. Nathan to recruit Levi Delgado as the mission’s pilot. While prepping for the mission, Gavin figures out that Levi and Eve were having an affair and he asks Levi if he loves Eve. Levi get’s trapped in 10,000 BC.

Gavin had a vision of an escape attempt by the survivors failing, resulting in all of the survivors deaths. Gavin saved their lives when he sent a drone telling them to not send a plane to the sky as it would have crashed.

DHS cancelled all rescue attempts, so Gavin and Izzy were assisted off the books by Dr. Nathan who introduces them to Dr. Rebecca Aldridge.

Aldridge and Gavin get on her plane, attempting to breach the sinkhole. Aldridge abruptly stands and puts on her emergency parachute and reels Gavin he needs to help them in a different way, and that he must “Go back to the beginning. November 16th, 1988.” Aldridge then jumped into the sinkhole.

This led Gavin to search down the other child who was found with him as a child, Ella. When Gavin went to Ella's house, he saw what used to be a gorge, and had a vision of him being there with Silas. This is when he learned that he used to live in 10,000 BC, and about the truths of his visions. He jumps into a sinkhole with Izzy and Ella, and together they make it to the clearing.
