In 1944, young Leon Zgierski (Roman Danylo), an inmate in the Birkenau
concentration camp watches as First Lieutenant Karl Rademacher shoots
his wife and sends his daughter to the gas chambers. The murder is
witnessed by a mysterious figure, time-traveler Nicholas Prentice (Alex
Daikun), who grabs Radermacher's SS jacket and, after eluding guards,
pulls out an antique watch and vanishes into a glowing orange circle. We
then flash forward to the present where Leon is an old man (Peter
Boretski) and his son by a second marriage, Aaron (Saul Rubinek), is a
lawyer who has made it his life's work to track down Rademacher. Aaron
believes he has found the war criminal living in Philadelphia as Robert
Greene (Jan Rubes) but he can't muster enough evidence to convince his
ex-wife, U.S. Attorney Gwen Sawyer (Lindsay Crouse), to bring charges
against the old man. That is, until he gets help from the time-traveler, who
offers the jacket and presumably enough documentation to convict
Greene. But Aaron's curiosity about Prentice gets the better of him and he
breaks into the time-traveler's hotel room. Using the antique watch device,
Aaron journeys back to Birkenau and meets his father. Prentice, disguised
as an SS officer, rescues Aaron from the past revealing his true identity;
he is from the future and works for a human rights organization called the
Tribunal. But Prentice warns that he can only do so much to help, and that
Greene may elude prosecution since the Tribunal must guard against the
unintended consequences of disrupting the time stream. But, he tells
Aaron, that this doesn't mean justice won't be done.
