A darkly comedic time-loop romance where a man's wedding day spirals into a surreal, accelerating nightmare that forces him to confront his marriage and mortality.

Teddy wakes up the morning after his wedding to discover that he's jumped forward a year in his life to his first anniversary. Trapped in an endless cycle of time jumps, transported another year ahead every few minutes, he is faced with a race against time as his life crumbles around him.
