Raimy (Peyton List) grew up believing her cop dad was killed when he turned bad and got mixed up in the criminal underworld. Aged 28, and now a cop herself, her world is turned upside down when a thunderstorm makes her father's old ham radio, tucked away in the garage, crackle back to life. The radio, unused for years, is a communication tool and soon Raimy is using it to talk to a man who shares her father’s name...

Meanwhile, in a flashback to 1996, we see cop Frank Sullivan (Riley Smith) in his garage. His ham radio crackles to life with the voice of a young woman.

As they talk over the radio, Frank and Raimy make a shocking discovery – they’re father and daughter, somehow talking to each other from different decades (1996 Frank is talking to his grown-up daughter in 2016). Rattled Raimy uses the radio to warn her father about his death, but in doing so she sets off a butterfly effect that changes the course of history – her father doesn’t die in 1996, her mother becomes the victim of a serial killer, and her fiancé has never met her!
