On November 9, Nyles wakes up next to his girlfriend Misty, marking the start of the day of Tala and Abe's wedding. As the wedding festivities begin, excitement fills the air, setting the stage for a series of unexpected events.

During the wedding reception, Nyles delivers an unexpected speech, seemingly easing the tension for Tala's sister, Sarah, who is too intoxicated and unprepared. This moment of connection between Nyles and Sarah ignites the beginning of their bond.

As Nyles and Sarah explore their growing chemistry, they discover that Misty has been unfaithful. The revelation shifts Nyles's perspective, making him more open to forming a deeper connection with Sarah.

Their connection takes a sudden turn when Nyles is unexpectedly shot in the shoulder with an arrow by Roy. This bizarre attack leads Nyles to crawl towards a mysterious light in a nearby cave, hinting at something extraordinary ahead.

After Nyles is injured, Sarah is drawn into the cave, where she inadvertently triggers a time loop that leaves her reliving November 9. Nyles reveals to Sarah that she is now stuck in the same cycle of repetition as he is.

Sarah tries various methods, from driving away to self-harm, to escape the loop but finds each attempt futile. Their days blur together as she and Nyles begin to embrace their entrapment.

The duo spends countless days together in a desert setting, leading to a romantic encounter. Their connection deepens, and they begin to enjoy their time together, despite the overwhelming nature of their situation.

The situation escalates when Nyles and Sarah are confronted by Roy, who seeks revenge for his own entrapment. In a heated exchange, Nyles reveals their past intimacies, causing Sarah to react impulsively and tragically.

After Sarah's impulsive act leads to her death, the day resets again to November 9. Nyles awakens, desperate to find Sarah and apologize, but their interactions prove elusive.

As Nyles tries to mend things, he discovers hints of past evenings spent with Sarah. Eventually, he confronts Abe in a physical altercation, symbolizing his growing desire to break free from the loop alongside Sarah.

Meanwhile, Sarah dedicates herself to studying physics in hopes of finding a way out of the time loop. Her extensive research leads her to formulate a plan involving a goat and explosives, hinting at an unconventional method of escape.

With a newfound determination, Sarah plans to detonate explosives in the cave to break the cycle. Nyles, realizing he cannot bear to lose her, rushes to her side, expressing his desire to face whatever comes next together.

After a heartfelt declaration of love, Sarah triggers the detonator, signaling their willingness to escape the loop. The blast signifies not just a physical release, but also emotional liberation from their past entanglements.

Nyles and Sarah find themselves lounging in a pool the next day, indicating the successful escape from the time loop. They have returned to a new day, November 10, leaving behind the burdens of their repeated past.

In a mid-credits scene, Roy approaches Nyles, curious about how Sarah escaped the loop. The interaction highlights the lasting effects of their shared ordeal, as Roy's intentions remain uncertain, ensuring a residual tension lingers.
