"Timeless" is a science fiction drama series that begins as an experimental time machine is stolen by ex-NSA asset, Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic), who mysteriously goes off the grid after allegedly killing his wife and child. A team consisting of history professor Lucy Preston, soldier Wyatt Logan and engineer Rufus Carlin is sent back in time using a prototype machine to capture him. However, they soon realize that Flynn and his associates are plotting to rewrite American history, and that each of them has a connection to his plan. Lucy's primary concern is for her ailing mother. Wyatt is shown grieving over the recent demise of his wife. Rufus, the scientist who helped develop the time machine, is distressed over the fact that Flynn stole his invention.

The next episode, which is titled "Space Race", will air on Monday, November 28 at 10/9c on NBC. In the episode, as the nation waits to hear the fate of the astronauts of Apollo 11, Flynn arrives near mission control, intending to rewrite the events of that momentous day. Hot on his trail, the Time Team need to be bolder than ever and call upon one of history's unsung heroes if they're going to have a shot at setting things right.
