Her life shatters on the eve of her sister Becca’s engagement party. Confronted by her mother about settling down, Alma suffers a violent vehicular accident after hallucinating her deceased father, Jacob, standing in the middle of the road.Miraculously surviving the crash, Alma awakens in a hospital room with a newly altered perception of reality. She begins experiencing intense visions and auditory hallucinations, soon realizing that time is no longer linear for her. Jacob manifests before her, not as a ghost, but as a brilliant, obsessive former theoretical physicist who died under mysterious circumstances. He reveals that Alma possesses a latent, hereditary ability to manipulate time and space. Desperate to rewrite history, Jacob convinces Alma that his death was actually a murder orchestrated by his university colleagues, and he enlists her help to travel back into the past to prevent it.As Alma undergoes rigorous, disorienting training to master her newfound temporal powers, her grip on consensus reality frays.

While Jacob’s singular obsession is unraveling the past to restore his legacy, Alma's motivations evolve; she begins to understand that her father's erratic behavior in life contributed significantly to the family’s current dysfunction. Her reality-bending exploits strain her relationships in the present, leading Sam to leave her and alienating Becca, who fears Alma is having a complete psychotic break just like their grandmother.The narrative reaches its emotional climax when Alma successfully rewinds time to the night of Jacob’s fatal crash. She confronts the terrifying truth about his death, learning that his demise was the result of his own reckless scientific ambition rather than foul play.

Ultimately, Alma chooses acceptance, stepping through a gateway into a mysterious, ambiguous final moment where she stands before a cave in Mexico, waiting for Jacob to emerge, leaving the viewer to question whether she has unlocked the universe's deepest secrets or finally succumbed to her mind's own labyrinth.
