Escape in Time is a tale of discovery, hope and liberation. Set in Northern California's beautiful Humboldt County, the story is told through the eyes of Jon, a janitor at Humboldt State University. A recluse from society, Jon lives isolated from the world until one night... He begins to dream of violent robberies fifty years in the past... too vivid to be dreams. Another reality unfolds before him. In his dreams he becomes John Anglin, a bank robber and prisoner on Alcatraz Island in 1962.

Two generations of professional baseball players return for a reunion game at one of their minor league stops en route to the big leagues. Unbeknownst to them, the owner of the club, on his way to a month of rustic living in the high Asian elevations, and desiring a connection to home, arranges an inducement to get the players to reveal novel anecdotes from their past 'on and off the field' baseball lives. The only apparent commonality between the two groups is their success on the ball field, each team providing the locals with the only two minor league championships for the small town nestled in the valley of the Allegheny Mountains.
