A time-loop thriller where an ordinary office worker must repeatedly relive the same day to prevent a tragedy and save a colleague he cares for.

Office employee Barry Thomas is caught in a "time bounce" caused by a glitch in the company's secret project. Now the same day occurs again and again - and Barry's the only one who can do anything about it, including saving the life of beautiful research assistant Lisa Fredericks.
