Plot synopsis
Ian spends a day with his lover, Samantha, and right after an argument with him, she takes off in a cab. He runs after it, but watches helplessly, as another car crashes into it at traffic lights causing her death.
The next morning, he is lying in bed cuddled up to her journal, when there is a flash of white light. He screams with shock when he notices she is lying next to him. He then realises that he has gone back one day in time.
Everything that happened the day before seems to be happening again, not always the same way, but it still happens, no matter what he does to try and stop it.
He spends the rest of the day with Samantha and learns to truly love her. After a wonderful evening, she climbs into a cab – he hesitates – but then decides to join her. The cab has in the same accident as before, except that this time, the crash kills him and not her.
She is very upset, but six months later, she appears to have got on with her life. We see her performing on stage and discover that she has become a successful singer/songwriter.
My comments
Similar plot to the movie, Three Days (2001).
Summary of time travel
The timeline continues to converge after every divergence except at the end of the film. When he dies instead of her, this causes the timeline diverges off in a new direction. So, the model of time used has an open past and future with a double-well timeline.
