The Present

Taylor discovers that the newly arrived family clock holds the power to rewind time by 12 hours after reading an inscription. He tests the mechanism and sees the day reset before his eyes. The find fills him with a glimmer of hope that he might change his parents' looming separation.

Fueled by desperation, Taylor decides to jump back to the morning when his parents announce their separation. He believes that stepping in at dawn could keep the family together. The clock becomes a tool for intervention rather than mere curiosity.

Taylor carries out the first reset, attempting to reset the day to a clean slate. He soon discovers that rewinding isn't a simple fix and that changing one moment has ripple effects. The attempt leaves him more determined, yet wary of the clock's growing complexity.

During the experiments, Taylor learns that his mother Jen has shown interest in Richard, spotted in her spinning class. He resolves to sabotage the budding romance, hoping to steer the family back toward stability. His actions reveal how far he will go to control the outcome.

On another reset, Taylor arranges a lunch date with Richard, trying to influence events from within. He inadvertently exposes Richard to nuts, triggering a reaction that forces Jen to intervene with an EpiPen. The tense meal ends abruptly as tensions in the family flare.

In a separate misstep, Taylor’s behavior near traffic startles a driver, causing him to crash into Robert's flashy convertible. The accident shocks everyone and demonstrates the unintended consequences of tampering with time. The day quickly spirals further from the ideal plan.

When a reboot allows Emma to notice the repeated resets, Taylor finally confesses the secret: he has already reset this day more than twenty times. Emma processes the burden and agrees to help. The revelation deepens the siblings' resolve to work together.

To expand their chances, the siblings recruit their younger brother Max. His youthful energy brings fresh ideas and a new dynamic to their attempts. Together, they plan more ambitious ways to bend time.

The trio tests increasingly elaborate schemes to make the clock serve their family goals. Each new attempt requires careful timing and carries higher risk as the clock ages.

With every rewind, the clock shows signs of wear and aging. Its physical fragility becomes a ticking clock in itself, threatening to fail before they can fix the family.

The siblings confront the possibility that some events cannot be changed, no matter how many times they rewind. They must face the limits of power and the impact on each other’s lives. The emotional toll tests their bond.

Beyond the magic clock, they learn the importance of family bonds and acceptance. They realize that some moments are meant to be lived, not rewritten. The story shifts from a rescue mission to understanding what is truly within their power.

As the clock’s countdown continues, the siblings decide to cherish the present rather than chase the impossible. They recognize that some precious moments come from living through today with their parents. In the end, the family takes a step toward healing by embracing what they have now.
