一名公務員受到高薪引誘，應徵新成立的神祕政府部門只向內部開出的職缺。這個部門成立的
目的是透過接待來自過去歷史的「移居者」，驗證時空旅行是否可行及人體能否承受其帶來的改變。
她的工作是與來自過去的人同居，協助他們適應，成為連結他們與當代生活的橋梁，同時監控他們。她負責的對象是生活於十九世紀的英國海軍軍官及極地探險家Graham Gore。曾參與過兩次北極探險的Gore很快便適應這個存在洗衣機、女性主義和Spotify等奇妙事物的新世界，而她與Gore之間的關係也迅速從最初的尷尬轉為友情並萌生愛情。
但當這項計畫背後真實的陰謀浮現檯面，他們被迫面對過去人生中的選擇以及兩人共同想像的未來。愛情能否改變塑造他們的歷史？當活生生的歷史搬進你家，我們又該如何定義歷史？
A civil servant is offered a lucrative job in a mysterious new government ministry gathering ''expats'' from across history to test whether time-travel is feasible.
Her role is to work as a ''bridge'': living with, supporting and monitoring expat ''1847'' - Commander Graham Gore, a former Victorian polar explorer. Gore, an adventurer by trade, soon adjusts to this bizarre new world of washing machines, feminism and Spotify; and during a long, sultry summer the pair move from awkwardness to friendship to something more.
But as the true shape of the project that brought them together begins to emerge, Gore and the bridge are forced to confront their past choices and imagined futures. Can love triumph over the histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy that history when it is living in your house?
