Synopsis:

Inspired by real events circa 1781: During the American War of Independence an envoy sent by Carlos III, King of Spain, arrives to bring money and support to General George Washington and the rebels. But his mission is sidetracked by love...

During the last quarter of the 18^th century, Europe was in turmoil. The new ideas about man and his place in society promulgated by the enlightenment had begun to take root everywhere and the winds of change were sweeping across the continent and to the shores of the English colonies.

It is within this environment of social and economical unrest and shifting political allegiances that the story of Timeless takes place. French participation during the War of American Independence is well known by the general public. Less known is the participation by Spaniards in the same war. Juan de Santaella, one of these unknown Spaniards is the protagonist of our story.
