Lu Ann, thirty-three-year-old, high school dropout, works in a bakery and lives with her two kids in a small Midwest town. Her husband was killed in the Iraqi War. Their star high school wrestler son, Billy, falls into a tower of tires and disappears through a wormhole, into 16 c Scotland, where he falls in love with a teenage girl and vows to find her abducted, nine-month-old son. At the same time, frantic to find Billy, LuAnn visits a shaman who takes her back to the 1800's. LuAnn, as Jody in her late teens, is prompted into a bank robbery to escape her dire circumstances. Her brother is killed, and Jody struggles to survive a life in brothels and the loss of her baby son, abducted by self-righteous clergy. Left for dead in the streets of San Francisco, a Houseman finds Jody. Assisted by a retired professor, the two men nurture her back to life. The Professor introduces her, as his niece, into high society. Raising funds for a settlement house for indigent children, searching for her lost son among the faces, Jody sees through the hypocrisy of her socialite friends, dons a mask and cape and, like Zorrita, executes stagecoach robberies of the arrogant rich. Through perilous circumstances, she finds her son, now 7 years -old and happily living with a loving family. She never reveals her true identity, but song lyrics she sang in bordello-bars come back to her, In many of the worlds I've searched for you...
