There's something so mysteriously unnerving about time travel. Although the entirety of the concept is mind-boggling in itself, the uncertainty of the fact that so much could change within a given timespan is ungodly. HBO's upcoming series, 'The Time Traveler's Wife' will throw some light onto this specific phenomenon. 

The plot of this drama series revolves around a couple's relationship being out to the ultimate test amidst time travel. Henry DeTamble (Theo James) holds to his credit a rather unique gene that allows him to involuntarily travel through time. Claire Abshire (Rose Leslie), his wife, finds difficulties coping with the changes.
