[edit] Plot
Harry Kim wakes up on Earth, in 24th Century San Francisco. Harry still retains all of his vivid memories of him aboard Voyager, yet there is no evidence that he was ever even on board the ship. His life is entirely different then what he remembers. He now lives in an apartment with his girlfriend, Libby, and works at the shuttlecraft development center at Starfleet Headquarters. He learns that he has designed a new type of shuttlecraft, the USS Yellowstone. After he dismisses a meeting with Starfleet Admirals because of "sickness", he looks for any explanation for his current situation. Harry uses his knowledge of Voyager's security codes to obtain classified information about Voyager. Harry realizes that he has somehow "swapped" places with his good friend Daniel Byrd. While skimming through the crew manifests Harry notices that Tom Paris is not listed as part of the Voyager crew. He finds out that Tom Paris now lives a life of crime in Marseille, France. He tries to enlist Paris' help to figure out what happened. But an altercation with Tom makes him leave empty handed.
Harry gets apprehended by security and taken to Starfleet Headquarters for questioning. He is then thought to be a Maquis spy. It turns out that a shuttlecraft accident caused Kim to fall into a time-stream and into a timeline where he never joined Voyager's crew. A time-stream alien has been sent to watch over Harry to help guide him through the "transition". He gives him information on where the timestream is and tells him that if he recreates the conditions of the accident and flies into the timestream he might get back to his own reality, but there are no guarantees. Harry tries to tamper with his security anklet, but unfortunately alerts Starfleet. Tom Paris comes to Harry's aid and bails him out of a tight situation. They transport to Starfleet Headquarters and steal the USS Yellowstone prototype.
Harry recreates everything he can remember, but when he passes through the coordinates of the timestream nothing happens. He suddenly remember that there was also an emergency beam out that was attempted by Captain Janeway before the accident. Harry has Tom transport him off the ship as they hit the timestream. Immediately he is returned to his own reality and is happy to find that Tom Paris is also aboard Voyager.
