London calling.  But how can that be?  The old radio that his grandmother left him when she died seems to pull in more than just a few random AM stations.  When Martin sleeps, he is drawn into the world of London during the Blitz.  Sixty years ago.  He meets Jimmy, a boy from the past who asks for his help.  Through Jimmy, Martin is going to learn a lot more than just what went on during the Blitz.  He will learn about his own family's past as well.
