A high-concept time-travel thriller that uses the USS Nimitz's displacement to Pearl Harbor as a vehicle for exploring the moral weight of historical knowledge and military intervention.

During routine manoeuvres near Hawaii in 1980, the aircraft-carrier USS Nimitz is caught in a strange vortex-like storm, throwing the ship back in time to 1941—mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
