In the near future, historical tourism is a reality, allowing people to experience events like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln firsthand.

As the lines between past and present blur, Samuel discovers that the technology behind the Ride has a dark purpose, and the people running it are more dangerous than any historical figures.
