The US Army has developed a secret base in the outback of Australia with the aim of controlling time travel. When a young Australian man, Matthew Fraser, inadvertently interferes with the Army’s latest experiment, he is ruthlessly hunted down and captured. After exhibiting the ability to bounce back a few minutes in time, Matthew is used as a pawn by the Army while they try to replicate his power of time travel. Meanwhile, terrorists hatch a plot to explode three nuclear bombs within the United States. Now Matthew and his new-found colleagues hope to use his abilities in a race against time to thwart the terrorists in their desire to unleash a nuclear nightmare.
