In 'Outlander,' Claire Randall, a married World War II nurse from 1945, encounters an ancient stone circle in Scotland while on vacation with her husband Frank. Upon touching it, she inexplicably travels back in time to 1743. Immediately upon arrival, she is threatened by a group of British Redcoats but saved by Jamie Fraser, a young Scottish warrior. Mistaken for a spy due to her knowledge of the future and unusual clothing, Claire is forced to marry Jamie to protect herself from execution. As they grow closer, their relationship deepens into a passionate love affair. However, Claire struggles with her loyalty to both Jamie and her husband Frank in two vastly different lives separated by centuries.
