Osmdesátá léta 20. století. Mírová aktivistka Elizabeth Devanová si přeje ukončit výzkum nových atomových zbraní. A nejvíce ze všeho by si přála, aby vědci, pracující na projektu Manhattan – výrobě atomové pumy během druhé světové války, tehdy neuspěli. Během jedné z demonstrací se stane nehoda a Elizabeth je přenesena o padesát let do minulosti. Do roku 1944, do Los Alamos v Novém Mexiku. Do doby, kdy Spojenci bojují v Pacifiku a provádějí invazi v Evropě. Ale díky jejím znalostem se nedopatřením stane, že nacisté získávají informace, potřebné k výrobě atomových zbraní… Podaří se Spojencům v těchto závodech ve zbrojení zvítězit? A na čí stranu se vlastně Elizabeth postaví?
