What happens when your family road trip takes a wrong turn... into another century?
For the Hargroves, a tech-reliant family from suburban California, a journey east becomes a plunge into the impossible. Stranded in the desolate Nevada desert by inexplicable electronic failures, they stumble upon Salvation Gulch-a town thriving impossibly in the year 1888.
Forced to adapt to a world without smartphones, sanitation, or modern medicine, Bob, Carol, Chloe, and Leo must navigate the suspicions of wary townsfolk while confronting the unsettling strangeness of their new reality. Time behaves erratically, the landscape shifts, and history contradicts itself. Beneath the facade of a quaint frontier town lies a dangerous secret: Salvation Gulch is a temporal anomaly, a prison designed to trap unwary travelers.
As they uncover the truth about the town's seemingly immortal Founders and their sinister plans, the Hargroves realize they haven't just lost their way-they've become targets. With time running out before a crucial temporal alignment seals their fate, they must unite their fractured family, blend their modern knowledge with frontier grit, and confront the forces manipulating time itself. Can they escape the town that time forgot, or will they become permanent residents of yesterday?
West of Yesterday is a gripping blend of science fiction, historical survival, and family drama, exploring what happens when the past becomes a prison and the future is a world away.
