Many different families are living in the 18th century---or at least they think they are. The people are really "brainwashed" into believing they still do. Every move is watched, yet they don't know it. One young girl is told of the real world and it's up to her to save everyone else because there is a deadly disease but they have no cure. Can she go out into the city in which she is not used to, get the cure for the disease, and get back to the "18th century" to save the others in time?

Thirteen-year-old Jessie lives with her blacksmith father and midwife mother and several siblings in a frontier town in 1840. Then her mother tells her the truth: the year is really 1996 and they are actually living in a historical village, where tourists watch them via hidden cameras. The worst news is they're being held captive by the owner of the complex, who won't provide them with medicine despite an outbreak of diptheria. Jessie has to escape and find help in a modern world she can't even begin to understand.
