At its core Time Management is the story of two families living in the same house 140 years apart. Jeffrey Porter never wanted to follow in his fatherâs footsteps; he had other plans. Now his father is missing and he's being drawn back to the house with two cellars. In his search, he enlists the help of August Kimball, a man of quite different beliefs, talents and temperament, and Jeffrey soon finds that if he and August are to lay claim to the future, he must first reclaim the past.
