“Based on the novel by H.G. Wells.”
Quiet and somewhat direction-less, Alfred Polly uses the money he inherits from his father to marry and to set up shop in a small town.

His random wanderings in the countryside lead him to a new opportunity that just might be what he's been looking for all along.
