TIME DIMENSION

Present day, St. Louis

Dr. Elise Chapman did not believe time travel was possible until the accident. During a severe electrical storm, Elise and her husband have an argument. Running towards the river she slips and falls into the turbulent waters. Being a strong swimmer she is able to save herself, however the giant whirlpool is sucking her down into its inky depths and she believes this is the end.

Waking up on a sandbar Elise sees people in period clothing and a scene reminiscent of an old Western movie. They stare at her like she is naked. Elise has somehow fallen into the year 1860.

Chase Reynolds has never met a woman like Elise whose ideas are so foreign to him. She says she is a physician from another time and proves it by performing emergency surgery on his sister in law, delivering her baby and saving their lives. Now that she has his respect Chase feels responsible for her safety which will not be easy with her attitude.

Elise wants to dress like a young man and join the wagon train and she wants Chase to train her how to shoot and survive in a man's world.

In the 1800's a single woman has two choices. She can be owned by a husband or turn tricks in the local saloon. Elise doesn't care for either choice and she despises the long cumbersome dresses with their bone corsets and myriads of buttons. If Chase would help her, she just might stay alive in this century.

And so Elise's journey begins as an amazing adventure through American History.

Chase and Elise fall in love and marry for five blissful years, as they share life on their homestead. Her life is here now with him. The thought of returning to 2015 would be devastating.

Chase was fiercely adamant that Elise stay safe in the house during all electrical storms. And she did until the one day she didn't.

Riding her horse across the river, the storm was so sudden the whirlpool was just there and it sucked Elise back to 2015.

Robert Reynolds, millionaire cattle rancher living west of St. Louis has a colorful family history dating back to the 1860's. Legend has it that his Uncle Chase went a bit crazy when he lost his beloved wife without a trace. He told the family Elise was from the future. In a loving gesture Chase gathered a deer skin packet putting in her wedding dress, jewelry, a photo and other personal belongings that were dear to Elise. He insisted this packet be kept in the family from generation to generation. Chase told them his wife would be back to claim it. Nobody in the family believed Chase but they remained true to his dying wishes.

When Robert was ten he listened to the family stories with awe begging his father to let him take care of the packet. The illusive Elise became his super heroine and Robert grew up keeping the packet safe and dreaming about her.

Now in his thirties Robert is reading the headlines. AN UNCONSCIOUS WOMAN IS FOUND ON A SAND BAR DRESSED IN

BUCKSKINS WITH A HORSE FIERCELY PROTECTING HER. She is discovered to be the same woman who disappeared in the river without a trace six years ago.

Interesting but Robert fails to make the connection. Her horse was sent by the police department to his ranch for boarding so he will be meeting this mysterious woman. Right now he has his hands full with an over demanding fiancé he is not sure he wants to marry.

Elise is honest with Robert about what happened to her and he thinks she is as crazy as Uncle Chase. But if the packet is hers then he needs to give it to her. Everybody knows time travel is impossible.

Knowing Chase packed it, Elise lovingly opens the cherished packet as tears fall on that part of her life that is forever lost. Robert sees that Chase's turquoise wedding band matches her own as well as the heart pendants they both wore. The little sepia photo framed in pewter clinches it for Robert. This woman is not crazy, Uncle Chase wasn't crazy. She was there and now she is here with him, the Elise of his childhood.
