‘Plan B’ Season 2: Watch Trailer For CBC Time-Travel Anthology

But Mia has stumbled across Plan B and finds herself able to book a trip into the past, and perhaps alter the outcome.”

The high-energy trailer shows Officer Coleman making the decision to change the past after the triple-murder tragedy. As she attempts alters history, she begins to realize how Plan B can alter the balance between criminals and victims and makes herself the most effective cop on the force. However, the more she struggles to effect change, the deeper into complication and crisis she sinks, especially as her own issues around control and jealousy are laid bare.
