Charlie Burke, an agent in the future, has used his wits to return to a place in power, after the previous encounter with Lambert. This time his mission is to find a mole in the ISA, the International Security Agency, and he chooses Lambert as the fall guy.

First he places a dead body in Lambert's bathroom, with Lambert's fingerprints all over it. Then another one.

Lambert manage to get away, and decides that the best way is to attack from the inside. Burke's security system detects this, and Lambert has to run again. This time he meets a wild woman, who turns out to be a federal accountant. Lambert uses her skills to try to find Burke's ultimate goal, and is surprised to find that it's to kill the head of the ISA. Will Lambert get there in time to save his life?

SELMA has discovered that history has been changed in several horse races in Australia. Lambert investigates, and finds that the winning horse has been injected with a stimulant from the future. As if the burden of proof isn't hard enough, the next big race is starting soon, and Lambert's jockey friend could be in danger.

The search of some missing future fugitives leads Lambert to Docker Flats, a small village in the middle of nowhere. He finds that no-one wants to talk to him, and everyone seems scared of being seen with him. Soon he is under siege in a restaurant, not knowing who he can trust. And then there's the lynch mob when night sets in...

(Ref. 'Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)')

A woman living in a suburb wakes up and sees flames all around her. She runs out and calls for help but noone else sees the fire. When the fire seems to follow her, she tries to flee in her car, but she crashes and dies.

This gets the attention of new ISA agent Tulsa Giles. She brings in her friend Lambert, and asks him to investigate this death and 20 other couples moving from what would seem to be a paradise. She wants to go undercover and have Lambert as her husband.

The ""newly wed"" couple buy a house. The contract gets SELMA's interest, since anyone that moves out of the house inside 2 years breaches the contract.

Soon however, things get worse when their neighbour thinks that he's back in Vietnam, and starts shooting. SELMA analyses his brain and discovers that it has been manipulated by a futuristic method.

But the situation is about to get even worse, when the method is applied to Tulsa too, and she believes that Lambert wants to kill her.
