Elliot Cowan stars as a police officer who becomes obsessed with solving a case that involves an experimental new drug developed by the largest pharmaceutical company.

Twenty years earlier, Frank Grieves, a former addict and current police officer, discovers a body at Ambro's corporate headquarters.

Grieves' superior, Nolan, does not approve of his investigation and instead orders him to work on busting the few remaining street dealers, who operate a shrinking black market since the legalisation of all narcotics.

Against orders, Grieves returns to the site of the crime in search of more clues, where he recovers a young woman, Eva Gray, who has apparently been targeted for assassination by unknown forces.

Todd Ambro explains that they need Ben, as he will perfect their time-travelling drug, which is currently flawed in a way that prevents people from staying long in their destination unless they are dead.

[7] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film's convoluted, self-indulgent plot makes it of interest only to science fiction die-hards.

[9] Andrew Pulver of The Guardian rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Despite the surface sheen, and some enterprising plot twists, it doesn't entirely convince.

"[10] Michael Rechtshaffen of the Los Angeles Times wrote that it starts and ends well, but the middle rehashes Blade Runner and The Terminator.

[11] Abby Garnett of The Village Voice criticised the film's lack of social commentary in favor of a too-complicated, slow-moving plot.

[12] Andrew Marshall of Starburst rated it 5/10 stars and called it "little more than a sci-fi police procedural" that ignores the interesting aspects of its premise.
