Life has not been going spectacularly well for budding romance writer Elizabeth Smith. When she starts hearing a haunting voice beckoning her, Elizabeth figures she is really losing it. Deciding that a walk in Central Park will help clear her head of Scottish research and the Clan MacLeod, Elizabeth finds a quiet place to rest. Upon waking from her strange nap, Elizabeth is immediately aware that something is very wrong. Somehow, for some reason, she is no longer in New York. In fact she is no longer in the 20th century.

The last thing James MacLeod needs cluttering his life is a strange young woman claiming to be from the future. While deep in his heart James knows she may be telling the truth, the hard-headed Scotsman refuses to believe and tosses Elizabeth into the dungeon. Once James releases Elizabeth they begin building a wary relationship, each never quite sure what the other is up to. Elizabeth finds that she has a number of allies in James' clan, including his teenage son Jesse and his young ward Megan. The key to Elizabeth getting back to her own time lies in the forest. Something within the woods makes time-travel possible.

Elizabeth saves James' life and in doing so changes history, preventing Jesse's ascension to power. When they realize what they have done, James and Elizabeth decide to travel to the future to save Jesse's heritage. It is James' turn to be off balance, as he learns to cope with modern life. Both the past and the present are in jeopardy, however, when Elizabeth and James realize that their treacherous enemy Nolan MacLeod has also learned to travel through time.
