What if your future was the past?
Created by Ronald D. Moore
On STARZ
An epic historical romance built on a central love story that sustains across time periods, balancing passionate connection with the violence and displacement of its 18th-century setting.
The story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
