Light Signals
tells the story of two children, John and Jennifer; best mates who are immersed
in a world of science and discovery. In
the secrecy of John's box room, they are on the verge of constructing a machine
that will alter the world as we know it -- a TIME MACHINE!
This
machine is capable of bending Space and Time, enabling people to travel backwards
and forwards on a whim. However, such inventions have consequences and when a
strange man comes to warn John that his actions could have terrible
consequences for Jennifer in the future, John and Jennifer are propelled on a
great adventure that stretches the possibilities of science to its limits and
puts John's smelly old cat Frailley at the centre of epoch changing events.
