Hunter and Casey Break the Future

Enter an adventure of epic powers, crazy-awesome gadgets, and overcoming evil through faith, friendship, and brotherhood.

After being overlooked by the adults, Hunter and Casey take their school field trip into their own hands. In a lab far secluded from the public eye, scientists and engineers buzz around in chaos. Hunter and Casey watch as Xfactor Industry employees work frantically on a technological secret that would change the world.

The secret? A time machine!

Upon accidentally launching themselves into the year 3000, Hunter and Casey must team up with a talking bus and a strange fugitive girl. Remnants of the life they knew hide in the shadows, but greater trouble soon finds the boys. The malevolent High Titan is after them and is not afraid of killing Hunter and Casey to recover what was taken. To have any chance of getting back home, the boys must rally support from their new allies and the not-so-friendly outliers to defeat the tyrant bent on their demise.
