In 1998 rogue scientists developed and built a working time machine. During their travels they were lost to time and the machine all but forgotten. In 2020 a group of pop culture enthusiasts inadvertently stumbled upon this device at a swap meet, but instead of using it to eradicate disease or produce world peace, they use it to stumble around in the past and inevitably mess things up. These "heroes" call themselves...The Tanglers.
