Description: Homicide detective Jack Radcliff (David Oyelowo) gets a call from his niece Ashley (Storm Reid) because her father, Garret (Brian Tyree Henry), forgot to pick her up. Jack, Garret’s brother, promises to talk to him about being more responsible. Garret, a former drug dealer, is on medication for bipolar disorder. The next night, Jack receives a panicked call from Ashley. Arriving at her home, he finds Garret, Ashley, and her mother shot dead. The police label it a murder-suicide by Garret, but Jack blames himself, believing his stern conversation triggered Garret’s actions.
Two weeks later, Jack starts receiving calls from Ashley’s phone, even though the line is disconnected. He realizes he’s somehow communicating with her from days before the tragedy. Ashley, unaware of her fate, speaks to him as if nothing is wrong. Jack decides not to reveal the truth but hopes to guide her to change the course of events and prevent the murder-suicide.
The film alternates between Jack’s investigation in the present and Ashley’s actions in the past. As Jack follows leads, he becomes convinced Garret was framed. He learns of a mysterious drug kingpin named Georgie, whom many rumors tie to major drug deals. Jack believes Georgie is the real culprit. During his investigation, Jack is fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting. As he dies, he instructs Ashley to call the police and have her father arrested for drug possession, hoping to alter the outcome. However, only the timing and details of the tragedy change, not the final result.
