Plot
A scientist in the distant future has set out to avert a catastrophic ecological disaster and sends a small number of high tech devices that resemble toys back in time to the 21st century. Ending up in Seattle, they are discovered by siblings Noah Wilder and his younger sister Emma. The "toys" are initially incomprehensible to them, other than one which appears to be a stuffed rabbit. The children keep their discovery a secret from their parents.
