Hvězdná loď Voyager kapitánky Kathryn Janeway trpí nedostatkem paliva a tak je nucena navštívit vrakoviště na dávno neobydlené planetě Alcawel.
Bohužel se ukáže, že některé z odstavených lodí nejsou vraky, ale odstavené časoplány. Tři členové výsadku nedobrovolně odcestují o tři sta tisíc let proti proudu času a beznadějně uvíznou v síti byrokracie, která střeží celé mezičasové cestování.
Kapitán musí vynaložit obrovské úsilí a dokonce zajmout Strážce - zaměstnance Kontroly, aby se jí podařilo svou posádku zachránit.
