Its the near future, and the technology exists to open doorways into the past-but not our past, not exactly. Each past is effectively an alternate world, identical to ours but only up to the date on which we access it. And a given past can only be reached once. After a passageway is open, its the only road to that particular past; once closed, it cant be reopened. A passageway has been opened to a version of late nineteenth-century Ohio. Its been in operation for most of a decade, but its no secret, on either side of time. A small city has grown up around it to entertain visitors from our time, and many locals earn a good living catering to them. But like all such operations, it has a shelf life; as the natives become more sophisticated, their version of the past grows less attractive as a destination.
