When Finn is saved from the Time Rangers by an older version of himself, it comes with a catch. Old Man Finn needs Finn and his friends, Lincoln and Julep, to help him win battles he lost years ago against the Paradox, a terrible creatures obsessed with revenge against Finn's father. If they succeed, he promises to tell Finn where his father is. He even gives them a pair of time-traveling pajamas to help them with their quest. There's only one problem. The pajamas malfunction almost immediately. Along the way the kids avoid being eaten by sabretooths, shot by revolutionary war soldiers, and start a war with a town full of holograms, all in an effort to fix the jammies.

Now, before you push the button--” There was a beep, and a red number ten glowed in the window. Then it became a nine. Then an eight. “Did you push the button, Foley?” Lincoln asked. “I did,” Finn admitted. “I couldn’t help myself. There was a button, and it was red!” The window glowed with a number five. “Did I tell you to push the button?” Lincoln yelled. “No.” “Aaargh! Throw it! Now!” Finn hefted the silver sphere as far as his old, wrinkled arm would allow. It arched into the sky, down the street, and toward a raging fire. Inside the flames stood a monster, roaring and tossing cars aside with its bare hands. It called itself Paradox, and today Finn and Lincoln were going to kill it. At least, that was the plan. “What are you looking at, old man? Run!” Lincoln shouted and they took off at a sprint in the opposite direction. They weren’t kids anymore. Both Finn and ...
