Summary

John Simm plays Sam Tyler, a driven and focused young detective who is determined to keep the streets of 21st-century Manchester safe. However, the hunt for a serial killer becoms a personal vendetta when Sam suspects his girlfriend and colleague, Maya, has been kidnapped by the very man he's tracking down. After a near fatal car accident Sam wakes up, dazed and confused, in 1973. Has he gone back in time? Is he in a coma? Dead? Or has he simply gone insane? What follows is Sam's 21st-century account of '70s life. Feeling like a fish out of water he must come to terms with an unfamiliar environment and an archaic CID unit. Using his modern know-how, he fast becomes an integral part of the investigative process as he learns to adapt to their old-fashioned technologies and etiquettes. It soon becomes clear to Sam that the killer who is holding Maya in 2006 started his killing spreee in the early '70s. Could catching the perpetrator be the key to Sam's return to the future?
