After the devastating loss of the Civil War in 1865 Confederate Captain Gregory D. Stewart searches for a new life in the Northwest Territories. Accompanied by a former slave who becomes his best friend, Stewart finds success in gold mining until the relationship with the local Nez Perce tribe goes awry. While running for his life, Stewart's journey takes a strange turn when he is inadvertently abducted and transported through time into the modern era. As they both struggle to adapt to American life in 2008, Stewart matches wits with the strange man from the future who is trying to return Stewart to his correct time after being mind wiped where he will almost certainly be killed by the dozens of Nez Perce warriors he'd left behind.
