In 1945, former World War II nurse Claire Randall and her husband Frank are visiting Inverness, Scotland. She returns on her own to the standing stones at Craigh na Dun, and suddenly finds herself in the middle of a skirmish between Redcoats and rebel Scottish Highlanders. She is attacked by Frank's double, Redcoat Captain Jonathan "Black Jack" Randall, but rescued by some Scottish Gaels. She is able to use her medical knowledge to help one of them, Jamie Fraser. Claire realises she has somehow travelled back in time to the 18th century. She wants to go back to the stones and try to return to the 20th century, but is held at Castle Leoch as healer to the clan. Claire comes to understand that the Gaels are covertly collecting funds for the Jacobite army. Knowing from history that their cause is doomed to fail, Claire tries to warn them. Jamie marries Claire to protect her from the sadistic Randall, but Claire also feels guilty about Frank, who in 1945 is losing hope of finding her. When she finally revisits the stones, they hear each other calling through time, but she is then captured by English troops, and taken to Fort William.
