Best friends Austin and Charlie find a mysterious locker in a deserted hallway of their elementary school. Inside the locker they find a dusty history book. When they open the book, a portal appears in the locker that transports them to whatever historical event the book is opened to. Ready for an adventure, the friends cross through the portal and are transported to Pennsylvania in the winter of 1776. There, they meet Colonel Henry Knox, one of George Washington's closest advisors. Knox, thinking the boys are messengers that he requested, give them the important mission of delivering attack plans for the Battle of Trenton. The boys are suddenly thrust into the role of Revolutionary War messengers, braving snow and cold to assist the cause of freedom. While they are enjoying their adventure, the threat of danger is real. British soldiers could discover them at any moment. During their Revolutionary adventure, they meet several famous historical figures such as Knox, Alexander Hamilton, and even George Washington himself. Eventually they realize that they've lost the history book that unlocks the portal, leaving them stranded in 1776. Will they ever make it back home?
