In an effort to heal the rift between feuding clans, Milo calls upon wisdom from the distant past...

In a last, desperate struggle to save the unity of the Kindred, Milo promises to intercede, taking the assembled sons and daughters on a journey of the mind to a strange and distant place...back to the twentieth century!
