Devonny is an independent minded young woman with her own ideas for business ventures. However, in a time when the role of women are to stay at home and please their husbands, Devonny soon finds herself engaged to a British noble she does not love nor respect. With the family's business and reputation hanging in the balance, Devonny agrees to marry the noble, despite how she knows he is an avoidant person and she will be dominated by her mother-in-law. In the meantime, Devonny tries to help her friend Flossie, who has fallen in love with an Italian construction worker, elope.
In the present, Todd Lockwood, Annie's brother, tries to find his own place in the world. With failed business enterprises and difficulty living up to Annie, Todd finds confidence only when he is coaching a girls' soccer team. In the past, Devonny despairs at her circumstances, with the disappearance of her brother Strat and the death of her friend Harriet, hoping that at least Flossie will find happiness. She discovers at the wedding that her father was blackmailed into ensuring Devonny would marry nobility and that the blackmailer was Aurelia Stratton, Devonny's mother who has been incarcerated and driven to desperation to ensure her own escape.
Devonny calls out to Time for help, in hopes that Strat or Annie will come to save her. Instead, she arrives in the present and meets Todd. In the modern age, she is able to find strength within herself that the women of Todd's age possess that embolden her to take action regarding her own future once she returns.

Meanwhile, back in the late 1800s, Strat is on a dig in Egypt as a photographer. Having given up his father's line of work to go to school and study photography, he is one of the best. But in the sands he begins to see mirages of Annie Lockwood. He feels her presence often and especially when he finds a golden sandal hidden in a small tomb. He also finds himself at the hands of his father once again when one of his father's hired workers comes looking for him.
Strat is pulled back in time, and saves Annie from being buried alive. Their reunion is very short, and although Strats screams marriage proposals to the wind and runs after Annie, she still slips through Time. Annie goes back to present, to her dismay, where she meets back with the young man named Lockwood Stratton. She is very upset to have been separated once again from Strat, but Lockwood Stratton reveals he has been looking for her throughout the day and tells her about a dream... In his dream, Lockwood was in the Nile river, traveling with British soldiers. He finds the dream curious, but Annie sees the real potential: could it be that Lockwood is really Strat? Lockwood realizes his watch no longer works and as he is about to throw it away, Annie asks to keep it "as a souvenir". The reason the watch was no longer working was because it was full of sand.
