Detective Sam Tyler is a rising star in 125th Precinct of the NYPD. He's investigating a string of homicides, when his girlfriend and partner, Maya Daniels, is abducted by the suspect. While in pursuit he gets into a freak car accident. When he wakes up he's in 1973.

Desperately looking for something familiar, he heads to his precinct, only to discover that it's a very different place. There's no DNA testing, no finger print databases, and apparently, no rules. All that matters is that the bad guy gets caught.

Sam must figure out how to work with the anything-goes Lt. Gene Hunt while he tries to get himself back to his own time.
