The story revolves around Zak Gibbs (Jesse Bradford), a high school student who stumbles upon a mysterious wristwatch left behind by his scientist father, Dr. George Gibbs (Robin Thomas). To his surprise, Zak soon discovers that the watch has the power to manipulate time, allowing him to speed up and slow down the world around him.
Excited by his newfound abilities, Zak teams up with Francesca “Fran” Alarcon (Paula Garcés), a beautiful and adventurous girl from school, and her eccentric uncle, Dr. Earl Dopler (French Stewart), a brilliant scientist who helps Zak understand the watch’s capabilities.
As Zak experiments with the watch, he attracts the attention of a covert government organization known as the Quantum Tech Corporation (QTC), led by the ruthless Dr. Henry Gates (Michael Biehn).

With the help of his quick thinking and resourcefulness, Zak outwits his adversaries and manages to destroy the QTC’s time-manipulation technology, preventing it from falling into the wrong hands.
As the dust settles, Zak decides to use the watch’s powers for good, vowing to protect it from those who seek to exploit its abilities. With Fran and Dr. Dopler by his side, Zak embarks on new adventures, using his time-manipulation skills to right wrongs and make the world a better place.
