Amidst this, Charlie designs a time machine, recruits another outcast named Zeke Thompson for his engineering expertise to help him build it, and tells Virgil.

During their first test run, the trio travel back in time and convince a local street performer to purchase a winning lottery ticket for them.

Throughout their adventures, the trio becomes known as the "Snowsuit Guys" despite their desire to be called the "Minutemen" and earn a heroic reputation with their classmates while Vice Principal Tolkan sees them as troublemakers.

After consulting with government scientists, Charlie learns that the Minutemen's work damaged the space-time continuum and created a black hole.

Virgil reconciles with Charlie and Zeke before the trio return to and re-enter the black hole as it closes and are brought back to the day they first time traveled.

Additionally, Larry Filion and Dwayne Hackett make uncredited appearances as an FBI agent and a store manager, respectively.
