Retired Royal Marine, now Cumbria-based mountain guide, Rory McMcregor, comes to the aid of a young woman threatened by a violent and sexual assault. Unfortunately, at the time of the rescue, he is not aware that the beautiful damsel in distress, and her would-be rapist, are from a distant, totalitarian future. Thus, begins a nightmare sequence of events as the woman's evil and powerful nemesis seeks revenge on both herself and her handsome, unwitting saviour. One thing, however, does seem certain, the end game of what proves to be a conflict enacted in different time periods, when it finally comes, will be a fight ending in death. The only question then being, when the conclusion does arrive, who will live and who will die?
