Kiera Cameron is an ordinary police officer -- ordinary, that is, for the corporate-run, vaguely dystopic future of 2077 in the Vancouver District of the North American Union or NAU. She's assigned the routine job of guarding captured terrorists belonging to the Liber8 group during their very public execution. However, the group has an escape plan that involves [[Time Travel]] and Kiera is pulled along with them back to 2012.
