Over a century and a half later, Simon, haunted by dreams of the great, great grandfather he never met, finds himself in possession of the key belonging to the doctor's forgotten homestead. With his best friend, 'Ol Blue, and an unexpected ally, he embarks on a journey to restore Doc Nathan's home, answering puzzling family questions along the way by assembling the family's 'Pieces of the Past'.
