Set in Vancouver, British Columbia, “Continuum” follows the story of a cop from the year 2077 named Kiera Cameron, played by Rachel Nichols, who was unintentionally sent back to 2012 along with a group of rebels called the Liber8 who deliberately went back in time to change the past and escape their impending execution.
Despite being 65 years early, the rebel group still pursued their violent crusade to put a stop to corporations of the future ultimately taking the place of the government. To succeed in stopping the Liber8 members, Cameron pretends to be a special agent working with present-time cops Carlos Fonnegra, played by Victor Webster, and Alec Sadler, played by Erik Knudsen, although her true identity was revealed throughout the show.
