Tru Davies is a bright, compassionate
medical school graduate whose plans are derailed when she fails to secure a residency and is forced to take a graveyard shift at the New York City morgue. Her life upends completely during her first night when the corpse of a murdered woman, a college student named Susan, suddenly speaks to her, pleading for help. Instantly, time rewinds, and Tru finds herself waking up at the start of that same day, forced to relive the 24 hours leading up to Susan’s death. Armed with foreknowledge, Tru races against the clock to prevent the murder, discovering a mysterious and heavy burden: corpses are calling out to her for salvation, and she is the only one who can hear them.With the help of her cynical coworker Leigh and her brilliant, reluctant boss Harrison—who happens to be her
younger brother—Tru makes it her mission to save as many lives as possible. Each episode presents a high-stakes puzzle where Tru must navigate complex personal relationships, dangerous criminals, and unpredictable variables to alter fate. However, she quickly learns that time travel comes with severe consequences. Fate is a stubborn force; if she saves someone from one tragic end, the universe often tries to correct itself, leading to unforeseen disasters or even death for someone else in her inner circle.The emotional and dramatic core of the series deepens dramatically with the arrival of Jack Harper, a suave and cynical man who works at the city’s other morgue and possesses the exact same time-manipulating abilities as Tru. Unlike Tru, who believes every life must be saved at all costs, Jack operates on a strict fatalistic philosophy: destiny cannot and should not be denied, and tampering with time only invites chaos. This ideological warfare forms the central conflict of the series, turning former allies into adversaries and forcing Tru to constantly question the morality of her crusade.Adding to her turmoil, Tru discovers that her estranged, wealthy father, Richard Davies, is secretly funding Jack’s efforts to stop her. Richard harbors a dark secret regarding the murder of Tru and Harrison’s mother years prior—a tragedy that may be tied to the very nature of their supernatural gift. As the conspiracy unravels, Tru finds herself caught in a lethal chess match against her own father and Jack, desperately trying to protect her family while saving innocent strangers. The dramatic tension peaks when Tru realizes that Jack’s ultimate goal is to break the loop permanently, forcing Tru to fight not just for a single day, but for the very fabric of free will and human existence.
