The protagonist is David Russell, a Dallas schoolteacher (the same occupation as the main character in the more recent work!), who is still in mourning for his older brother who was killed in Vietnam twenty years before. His girlfriend, Laura Watkins, a TV talk show host, introduces him to an eccentric physicist, Dr. Hendrik Koopman. It turns out that Dr. Koopman has designed, built, and tested a time machine. Since Russell, with a sense of utter certainty, feels that had JFK had lived, there would have been no Vietnam War, and thus his brother would not have died, he manages to convince Dr. Koopman to send him back to November 22, 1963 so that he can stop Lee Harvey Oswald from killing Kennedy.
