- In a San Francisco basement, physics post-graduate student Quinn Mallory has found a way to create portals to parallel universes. Inviting his physics professor Maximillian Arturo and his computer store colleague Wade Wells for a trip, a series of mishaps ropes in passing singer Rembrandt Brown and takes the Sliders off their planned route. Upon discovering a frozen world and one where Russia rules America, the quartet begins to doubt that they will be able to return to their own world anytime soon...—kevin galea
- Quinn Mallory, a physics student at the University of California, accidentally discovers a means to form a portal to access, or "slide" to, other dimensions. To control this portal, he perfects a timer which allows him to return safely after each slide. Together with his good friend Wade Welles and his professor Maximillian Arturo, he intends to use this new invention to do a bit of exploring. A power overload inadvertently sucks washed-up singer Rembrandt Brown into the vortex as he drives by Quinn's house, and all four are deposited into an icy San Francisco. Quinn believes they should wait the five hours he'd preset the timer for initially, but an ice tornado forces their hand. What they believe to be home is really another parallel dimension, this one dominated by the Soviet Union. Rembrandt is arrested for using rebel currency and Wade is found out to be an alternate of an America rebel leader who is being held prisoner. A plan is hatched to rescue both Rembrandt and alt-Wade by having Arturo pose as the warden of the penitentiary.—kevin galea

Rembrandt is arrested for using rebel currency and Wade is found out to be an alternate of an America rebel leader who is being held prisoner. A plan is hatched to rescue both Rembrandt and alt-Wade by having Arturo pose as the warden of the penitentiary. The raid is successful, though not without casualties. Quinn repairs the timer and the four slide again, only to find that they've become untethered in the multiverse.
