C.J. Walker, a science prodigy, teams up with her best friend, Bash, to create a time machine. Their first attempt ends in failure just before the last day of school, setting the stage for their ambitious project.

In their last science class with Mr. Lockhart, C.J. and Bash seek to impress potential scouts at the upcoming science expo. Mr. Lockhart encourages them to consider the ethical implications of time travel, which influences their next steps.

C.J. and Bash successfully activate their time machine, propelling themselves back in time by 24 hours. They experience the excitement and chaos of their first successful trip, but it leads to unexpected consequences.

In a misguided attempt for retribution against her ex-boyfriend Jared, C.J. pulls a prank that goes awry. The situation escalates when Jared, in pursuit of C.J., is hit by a car and suffers a fractured arm, intensifying tensions among friends.

On July 4th, C.J.'s older brother Calvin and his friend Dennis leave a party after a confrontation with Jared. Their evening takes a tragic turn when they accidentally run into two men, leading to a police incident that results in Calvin's death.

Following Calvin's tragic death, C.J. is devastated and resolves to go back in time to save him. The overwhelming grief from the funeral propels her to act, despite warning signs from Bash about the dangers of time travel.

C.J. and Bash devise a plan to prevent the fatal encounter that took Calvin's life. However, when Jared spots them and chases them down, they arrive too late, leading them to confront their helplessness over Calvin's fate.

Determined to save Calvin, C.J. and Bash prepare for a third time travel attempt. They enlist the help of classmate Eduardo, which leads them to acquire essential equipment for their desperate mission.

In a bold move, C.J. attempts to stop a convenience store robbery, aiming to prevent any future police confrontations. However, as events unfold, Bash finds himself in a perilous situation that ends in heartache.

The consequences of their actions culminate when Bash is tragically shot during the robbery. C.J. watches in horror as he succumbs to his injuries, adding to her burden of guilt and loss.

In a desperate bid to save both Bash and Calvin, C.J. enacts a fourth time travel plan. With urgency, they find Calvin and Dennis, but the appearance of the officer leads to devastating choices.

As tensions rise, Calvin bravely protests his innocence but is forced to sacrifice himself to facilitate C.J. and Bash’s escape. This act of heroism leaves C.J. with the burden of loss and failure once again.

Upon returning to the present, Bash is furious with C.J. for her reckless time travel attempts. The confrontation reveals the emotional toll the adventures have taken on their friendship.

Undeterred by Bash's anger, C.J. makes the bold decision to embark on a fifth journey alone. She is fueled by determination and an unwavering hope to rewrite the tragedies of their past.

As C.J. breaks into a sprint, she prepares herself for the monumental task of altering their fateful history. With each leap back in time, she carries the weight of the past but remains resolute in her mission.
