While transporting his delinquent daughter back to Los Angeles, U.S. Marshal Jack Carter crashes his car near Eureka. He assists in a case involving a tachyon accelerator, built by an amateur scientist, and is hired as the Sheriff. The town begins to experience time and space anomalies, a child is nearly killed and a herd of cows are lost. When Carter investigates Jim Taggert kidnaps him and he meets Allison Blake who shows him Global Dynamics and the real side of Eureka. Eventually the accelorater is found and the scientist who builts it dies trying to shut it off. The military then comes in, and quarantines the town. The rift caused by the tachyon accelerator can be stopped if another partical collision can occur, but a large quantum physics problem must be solved (for half of it went missing while the anomalies occurred all over town) so Carter sneaks out of the heavily guarded GD (with the help of Jo) and grabs Allison's autistic son who solves the problem, another collision occurs and Eureka, and Earth, is saved. Greg Germann of Ally McBeal guest stars.
