When Perry steps into a crumbling ruin while on holiday in France, he is not expecting to be transported back 1700 years to Roman times. While he hunts desperately for a way home, he must blend in as a slave, even if it means eating mice for dinner!

Gradually, Perry is caught up in the fascinating world of grand Villa Rubia and a life he could never have imagined. But when he makes a new friend, he thinks he might already know her terrible fate.

Perry is faced with an impossible choice: to find his way home or stay and guard his friend's life, and risk being trapped in the past forever.

As he struggles to navigate the treacherous social hierarchy of the Roman world, Perry discovers that he has a talent for engineering and architecture. He uses his skills to help restore the Villa and create new structures that will benefit the people of the town.

But as he gets closer to his goal, Perry realizes that he is not alone in his quest. There are others who are searching for the same thing he is: a way back to their own time.

As Perry and his friends race against time to find a way home, they must also confront the dangerous forces that are trying to keep them in the past. They must navigate through treacherous terrain, avoid capture, and confront their own fears and doubts.

In the end, Perry and his friends are able to use their skills and determination to find a way back to their own time. They return to the present day with a newfound appreciation for the history and culture of the Roman world and a determination to make a difference in their own lives.

As Perry steps out of the crumbling ruin, he is filled with a sense of wonder and gratitude. He knows that he will never forget his adventure in the past and that it has changed him forever. He is grateful for the friends he made and the lessons he learned and is ready to face whatever challenges come his way.
