Torrent Description

Storyline

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 British troops, and taken to Fort William.

Jamie saves Claire from Randall, and they return to Leoch. Claire is tricked by Laoghaire, a young woman who Jamie has rejected, into visiting her friend Geillis Duncan just as she is arrested for witchcraft. They are both about to be found guilty, but Geillis confesses and exonerates Claire. As Geillis is taken away to be burned, Claire realises that she too is from the future. Claire tells Jamie her true story, but also decides to stay with him. He takes her to his family home of Lallybroch, where they meet his strongwilled sister Jenny. But Jamie is captured by the Redcoats, and held at Wentworth Prison for execution. Randall subjects Jamie to torture. Claire manages to get into the prison, but when Randall finds her, Jamie agrees to submit to Randall in exchange for her freedom. Randall rapes Jamie, but Murtagh and the clansmen then rescue him and Randall is left for dead. Claire treats a damaged and suicidal Jamie, and they eventually set sail for France. Claire hopes they can meet Prince Charles Stuart and somehow change history to prevent the catastrophic Battle of Culloden. Claire reveals to Jamie that she is pregnant.
