A modern nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, commanded by Captain Matthew Yelland, is on routine maneuvers in the Pacific Ocean. Unexpectedly, the ship encounters a mysterious storm-like vortex. After passing through this bizarre electrical weather phenomenon, the crew is bewildered to find that the Nimitz has been transported back in time just before the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 6, 1941. The crew must come to terms with the reality of time travel, recognizing the looming historical tragedy and the staggering opportunity to alter the past.

Caught between the knowledge of what is to come and the moral dilemma of potentially changing history, Captain Yelland and his crew face critical decisions. They explore the implications of their presence in the past, much before their ship was ever built. As they encounter a stranded senator and his secretary, further complexities arise regarding their impact on the historical timeline and the appropriate course of action they should take. Torn between duty and destiny, the crew navigates uncharted territory not just geographically, but in the fabric of time itself.
