An orphan boy longs to remember what his mom looked like, so he sets about building a mind-scanner to scan through his memory banks to find a picture of her. Unfortunately a baddie from the future pops up to try and steal this invention. Luckily another visitor from the future arrives to help him out, and takes him back to the future. His new friend has a large and bizarre family, and as they hop around in time, he gets to see what it would be like to have a family of his own.
