Synopsis of Quantum Leap

In a secret U.S. government base in New Mexico, around 1999, physicist Sam Beckett works on a particle accelerator with his team. His goal is to prove that time behaves differently within atomic structures, and the pressure to get results grows every day. When he decides to enter the machine, Sam vanishes without a trace. When he wakes up, he occupies someone else's body and doesn't remember who he is. He is accompanied only by Al Calavicci, his best friend, a Navy admiral who exists as a hologram visible only to him, while the computer Ziggy tries to help them from the lab. Sam must leap from life to life within his own existence, setting right what went wrong, in the hope of returning home.
