Miles, a modern male chauvinist, accidentally travels through time to a primitive matriarchal tribe on an icy tundra. Mistaken for a demon upon his arrival, he has to scrape by doing household chores to survive. He employs modern food curing techniques to resolve the tribe’s winter food shortage crisis and gradually gains the tribe members’ approval with his cooking skills. Later, he uncovers the high priest’s plot of hoarding supplies and joins forces with Ophelia, the tribal chieftess, to set things right. Romance blossoms between the two as they spend time together. In the end, Miles stays temporarily to build a kitchen for the tribe, while Ophelia practices French braiding diligently, determined to travel back to the modern world with him for a date featuring cheeseburgers.
