In Sterkarm! is het de wetenschap gelukt een tijdtunnel te maken die toegang geeft tot het verleden. Ongehoorde mogelijkheden liggen in het verschiet; goud, olie, gas en ongerepte natuur voor rijke vakantiegangers. Het enige probleem wordt gevormd door de Sterkarms, een woeste, zestiende-eeuwse clan. De Sterkarms zien de tijdreizigers als 'Elven' en in ruil voor aspirine beloven ze hen met rust te laten. Maar... een belofte van de Sterkarms stelt weinig voor. Voor Andrea Mitchell, die bij de Sterkarms werkt, bestaat dit probleem niet. Ze is verliefd op Per, de zoon van het stamhoofd, en voelt zich helemaal thuis in de zestiende eeuw. Maar Per raakt gewond en Andrea neemt hem mee naar haar eigen tijd, met grote gevolgen. Per, die nu kennismaakt met de eenentwintigste eeuw, merkt hoe machtig en destructief de Elfen eigenlijk zijn en hij zweert hen voor altijd te weren uit zijn tijd en van zijn land. In de bloedige strijd die volgt, moet Andrea kiezen aan wiens kant ze nu eigenlijk staat.
