When a young police officer follows and confronts a serial rapist, they inadvertently travel back to 1910 Los Angeles where the officer partners with her trailblazing hero Alice Wells, and film director Alice Guy to find the criminal before more women are attacked.
When a determined young police officer pursues a dangerous serial rapist through the streets of modern-day Los Angeles, a sudden and inexplicable event sends them hurtling back in time to 1910. Stranded in a city on the verge of transformation, the officer finds an unlikely ally in Alice Stebbins Wells, the LAPD’s first female officer, and Alice Guy-Blaché, a pioneering filmmaker documenting the world around her. As the past and present collide, the three women must work together to track down the elusive predator before he can continue his reign of terror—while the officer races against time to find a way back home.
