Following his adventures in the Los Angeles of the 1980s, Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) has returned to his own time, the 23rd century. Having lost his first wife Lena, and finding out that he's lost his other wife Alice to none other than Harris, Deth agrees to another assignment in the past.

While heading out for another assignment, something goes awry with the TCL chamber. Jack finds himself in a whole new dimension, a kingdom of the technological level of medieval Europe. He also runs across a different version of Trancers called Nobles, who seem to be in control of this planet. The Nobles literally suck the life force out of that dimensions normal humans

Jack manages to assist a rebel group known as the "Tunnel Rats" crush the rule of the evil Lord Caliban (Clabe Hartley). The physics of this universe render most of Deth's technological devices either inoperable or functioning in a manner that is useless. To stop the Trancers of this world, and return himself to his own dimension. Jack must quest to find the mystical Diamond in the Castle of Unrelenting Terror, an item which Lord Caliban is also hunting. The movie ends on a cliffhanger.
