The show's titular characters are a group of people who travel ("slide") between different Earths in parallel universes via a vortex-like wormhole, activated by a handheld timer device.

Now, they are forced to slide between universes, spending from minutes to months there, waiting for the timer to count down to the next time they can open a vortex to a new universe, hoping it is their original one.

Failing to use the vortex to slide at that point would mean they would be stuck in that universe for nearly three decades until they can open the vortex again.
