Synchronicity

Physicist Jim Beale and his team make a groundbreaking leap in time travel technology by designing a machine capable of manipulating time through a wormhole. This pioneering process marks the beginning of their ambitious and risky journey into time manipulation.

During the first run of their time travel experiment, Beale successfully creates one half of the wormhole. This accomplishment leads to the unexpected gift of a genetically enhanced Dahlia flower from the wormhole, which he delights in as proof of his success.

Beale faces a tense negotiation with Klaus Meisner, who owns KMC and controls the radioactive materials necessary for the second test. Their discussions are fraught with tension as Meisner demands 50% ownership of the venture; ultimately, he secures 49% instead.

After the first test, Jim Beale encounters Abby Ross, who engages him in a seemingly intimate conversation about his research. Despite an initial attraction, Beale grows suspicious of Abby's true intentions, prompted by a warning from Chuck.

Chuck reaches out to Beale with urgent concerns that Abby Ross cannot be trusted. He hints that the results of their initial test are more significant than expected, leaving Beale conflicted as he tries to balance his growing feelings for Abby with his instincts.

As Beale's relationship with Abby deepens, he learns that she is working for Meisner and is leveraging her knowledge of the Dahlia to wrest further ownership from him. This betrayal leaves Beale with a mere 1% ownership of their work.

In a desperate bid to reclaim his control over the time travel project, Beale dives into the wormhole during the second test. He declares, 'You may own the Dahlia, but you don't own me!' as he is transported back one week into the past, ready to face Meisner and Abby anew.

Beale begins to suffer physical ailments whenever he is near Jim Prime, his original self. With the help of Chuck and Matty, he devises a plan to keep his presence hidden from Jim Prime to avoid complications with his existence.

While examining Abby's journal, Beale uncovers unsettling truths that confirm he isn't just time traveling but has moved into a parallel universe. This realization underscores the danger of two versions of himself existing simultaneously in the same timeline.

Beale uncovers the reality of Abby's motivations, learning that her betrayal was a calculated move to gain more radioactive materials at the expense of his life. The atmosphere grows tense as the second test approaches, with Beale feeling the weight of his fate.

The second test unfolds under eerie circumstances, evoking a sense of déjà vu for Beale. Despite his attempts to assert control, the experiment seals his fate, creating a void where he once stood.

In the wake of the experiment, Beale's absence leaves an unoccupied chair at the Grand Hotel, a haunting reminder of his loss. Abby finds herself alone in a café, contemplating the loss of Beale and what could have been.

Abby encounters a stranger in the café who resembles her former muse, Jim Prime. This encounter hints at the possibility of a new beginning and suggests that the repercussions of time travel may linger on, intertwining their fates.
