On the verge of giving up on life, a guy travels to his hometown to make amends. Ted (Seann William Scott) decides to commit suicide

The programme centres on a pair of interdimensional operatives, the titular Sapphire and Steel. Very little is revealed about their purposes or backgrounds in the course of the series but they appear to be engaged in guarding the order, if not the integrity, of Time. They are two of several elements that assume human form and are sent to investigate strange events; others include Lead (Val Pringle), who takes the aspect of a jovial, friendly giant, and Silver (David Collings), a technician who can melt metals in his hands.
