DCI Sam Tyler's bad day just keeps getting worse. His case against a suspected serial killer has collapsed and his girlfriend and colleague Maya, has been kidnapped by the real killer. Worse is to come, he is knocked down by a car, when he wakes up - he appears to be in the year 1973. Confused, he's convinced he either dreaming or hallucinating and he's finding it difficult to believe all around him is real, including his new fellow officers. Sam discovers there is a link between a murder committed in 1973 and the serial killer who has kidnapped Maya - in 2006.
