 Sam Tyler, a driven and ambitious young detective is determined to keep the streets of 21st Century Manchester safe. But after a near fatal car accident, Sam wakes up, dazed and confused, in 1973, struggling to understand what’s real; Has he gone back in time? Is he in a coma? Or has he simply gone insane?
What follows is Sam’s 21st century account of Seventies’ life feeling like a fish out of water. He must come to terms with an unfamiliar environment and an archaic CID unit where, using his modern know-how, he is integral to the unit’s investigation process as he learns how to adapt to their old-fashioned technologies and etiquettes.
Sam’s boss is hard-nosed DCI Gene Hunt who gets results by trusting his gut instinct and, all to often, sheer brute force.
