Martin is a classical trained artist but whose best works are a combination of sculpture and electronics. While the combinations sell well the classical works don't bring in much. Trying for a new approach he creates a 3 dimensional hologram. When he has a program called Realtime running while doing tests the hologram becomes a portal capable of taking him anywhere and anywhen. Martin can't pass up the opportunity to meet his hero Michelangelo. While in the past he meets Cristina who's beauty and warmth become his muse and he slowly begins to prefer 1600 italy to the present. In the present his art gallery owner and friend Arthur, discovers the machine and uses it to "discover" lost works of the masters making himself very wealthy. When Martin discovers what Arthur has been up to it's a race against time to undermine his efforts. Who will prevail is all found within these pages.
