The series concerns a device, found by humans in the 25th century, called the Nullifier. This device is capable of destroying the universe. Realising the danger, a man called Irwin 1138 splits the Nullifier into six pieces, which are then dispersed through time. However, an evil scientist called Dr Zoetrope finds out where the pieces are located and, with the help of a time machine, sets about reassembling the device. Along with a 20th century teenager, Josh Kirby, and a half-human warrior known as Azabeth Siege, Irwin 1138 sets about thwarting Dr Zoetrope's plans.

Josh Kirby's journey starts when he is accidentally pulled into the fight between Irwin and Zoetrope when a piece of the nullifier lands in his kennel. He has to overcome his homesickness for small-town America, helped by befriending the alien warrior-girl Azabeth (who has gills). After a series of adventures including seeing the year 70,379 where humans have become tyrannical giants, ToyWorld, and Azabeth’s home world where humans are the hated enemy of her people The Kang, he eventually is confronted by a shocking betrayal before he discovers that he must choose between Azabeth's survival and fulfilling his Time Warrior destiny.
