The year is 2032 and England is upside down. At least, politically and culturally speaking it is. Everything has been easternised and the people are herded like sheep by the government’s new curfew agents, who are treated like superstars. After being forced out of yet another building to make space for the curfew agency, homicide detective Lee Stride is approached by his former, senior partner, Mac. Lee joins Mac’s ring of detectives who illegally use Ripple machines to travel through time to prevent crimes before they happen. The group turn to Lee’s disgraced former partner who was discharged from the force and has since turned to the lifestyle of the samurai in an attempt to better himself and they convince him to confront the man who is about to kill his estranged wife and more importantly, himself.
