Sam Tyler is investigating a murder in 2008 when his girlfriend and fellow police officer Maya Daniels is kidnapped the murderer. During the horrific experience, Tyler gets hit by a speeding car and his knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he finds himself in the same spot, but everything around him has changed: he has the clothes, car and Police ID of someone in 1973. When he returns to the station, he finds a new set of detectives have been expecting him. He struggles to adjust to the time period where the rest of the force has no problem using extreme tactics with little regard for procedure. The rest of the force finds him weird, as he occassionally will allude to events or items from the future. While working in 1973, he is involved in cases that relate to the cases he was working on in 2008, such as a serial killer who is only starting his career in the 1970s. Tyler is torn between his values from 2008 and the reality of 1973, all the while trying to understand what has happened to him. Harvey Keitel plays Tyler's superior Commander, Lt. Gene Hunt.MORE
