Los Angeles, 1947; NICK MCGRAW, 35, a self-employed, hard-boiled private eye is on the verge of cracking the biggest case of his life, the murder of film actress, Veronica Davis. In the middle of the night, during a violent storm, McGraw is called to his office to speak with reporters who were tipped-off about the case. Unbeknownst to McGraw, the U.S. military is running a top-secret intra-dimensional time warp program from the top floor of his office building. The program is a continuation of Teslas defunct 1943 Philadelphia Experiment -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Expe.... After dismissing the reporters from his office, McGraw steps into the elevator as the storm rages outside.

McGraw emerges from the elevator and stumbles out to an unfamiliar Wilshire Boulevard and the year2011.
