Deja Vu

During the vibrant Mardi Gras celebration in Algiers, New Orleans, a ferry carrying sailors from the USS Nimitz and their families tragically explodes. This devastating act of terrorism results in an appalling 543 casualties, leaving the community in shock and grief.

ATF agent Doug Carlin is summoned to investigate the horrific explosion. As he surveys the scene and speaks to witnesses, he realizes that this incident is far more complex than a mere accident, hinting at deeper layers of malice involved.

Doug learns from Sheriff Reed about the discovery of Claire Kuchever's body, which mysteriously washes ashore shortly after the explosion. The examination reveals that her corpse is burned and exhibits signs of explosive residue, leading the team to suspect foul play.

Investigating further, Doug arrives at Claire's residence. There, he uncovers critical evidence including bloody rags, a firearm, and a peculiar message on her refrigerator that eerily states, 'U can save her,' amplifying the urgency of the investigation.

As Doug digs deeper, he realizes that his partner, Agent Larry Minuti, was also killed in the blast. This revelation hits hard, intensifying Doug's determination to uncover the truth and prevent further loss of life.

Doug is introduced to a secretive team led by FBI Agent Pryzwarra, who unveils an experimental surveillance technology capable of reconstructing images from four days prior using a sophisticated satellite network. This gives Doug hope of finding answers.

Upon utilizing the new surveillance technology, Doug discovers disturbing details from Claire's diary. She expressed feeling watched and received threatening calls regarding her vehicle, intensifying the suspense surrounding her mysterious connection to the bombing.

The team theorizes about an Einstein-Rosen bridge, discussing sending a warning message back to Doug about impending dangers. They acknowledge the profound risks associated with time travel, having found previous attempts at sending living beings resulted in failure.

Unfortunately, the message sent back proves to be too late, leading to Larry's tragic death during a dangerous encounter with the terrorist Carroll Oerstadt. Doug is left frustrated and guilt-ridden, now more determined than ever to intervene.

In a frantic effort to stop further tragedies, Doug embarks on a high-speed chase in a Humvee. His goal is to reach Larry before it’s too late, underscoring the race against time that characterizes his investigation.

After realizing the weight of the clues, Doug resolves to travel back in time with the help of Dr. Denny. He aims to prevent the explosion and rescue Claire, demonstrating his commitment to changing fate.

Jumping back four days into the past, Doug crashes an ambulance into a facility to confront Oerstadt. This bold move is a critical step in his attempt to save Claire from her looming fate.

Countdown to disaster begins as Doug and Claire engage in a heart-pounding struggle aboard the ferry, trying desperately to thwart the impending explosion while outsmarting the terrorists poised to strike.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Doug sacrifices himself to ensure Claire's survival, allowing her to escape the chaos that ensues. His brave selflessness demonstrates the depth of his commitment and love for her.

As Claire emerges from the wreckage, mourning Doug's loss, she is unexpectedly confronted by him from the present. Their brief, emotional exchange echoes their deep connection, leaving an indelible mark on both of their lives.
