An accomplished TV travel host is gifted a heart-shaped hourglass which gives her a second chance to revisit her past. She eventually has to choose between a new life or the life she knows before the sands of the hourglass run out.

Cousins William, Mary, and Alice stay at their uncle's old house, Golden House, and discover a hidden room where they meet Stephen Tyler, a 16th-century magician who has travelled through time. They must help him protect the valley from his wicked apprentice, Matthew Morden, who seeks to disrupt the magical and ecological balance.
