London, the present day: commercial time travel is a reality.
Tempus Tours – owned by controversial tech entrepreneur Inigo Frank – offers the wealthy a chance to witness pivotal moments in history.
To immortalise his achievement, Frank enlists award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Hunt to create a fly-on-the-wall documentary. On her first day shadowing Inigo, she is set to witness the return of a billionaire property developer and his family from their trip to the past. But instead of their awe-filled return, she captures the group arriving bloodied and traumatized, with one of their number missing.
Not only that, but Phoebe recognizes the missing woman, and knows not only that she’s not who she claims to be but that she has every reason to harbor a grudge against her. And as events begin to unravel in the present day, it seems increasingly clear that she had sinister motives for returning to the past – and that people close to Phoebe are in danger.
London
Cafe de Paris
This is the primary setting for the 1941 visit to the past. This is where “time tourists” visit as its said to be the “safest place in London”. This is where they dine and dance just before it is tragically struck by two German bombs.
Imagine being able to travel back in the past? War time London would be interesting but dangerous!
