   Summary

   After a mishap with a misplaced Time Tape, Stan and Ford Pines are whisked away from their quiet life on the Stan'O'War to a year both would rather forget: 1982. Ford, landing in New Mexico, tracks down a young Stanley, while Stan stumbles across the disheveled shack in the woods that contains horrors unknown. Together, paired with their twins' younger selves, Ford and Stan must find each other and get back to their own time.
