A woman foresees her husband's death and relives it several times. Linda Hanson goes through her normal day at home when she receives a call that her husband Jim has died in a car accident. But when she wakes up the next day, he is alive and she is reliving a different day of the week. She dismisses the first incident as a bad dream, but when his "death" occurs again and again on various days, she is convinced that she is losing her mind. She then tries to piece the puzzle together by noticing various details during the day that either stay the same, or constantly change, this is her way of determining what day it is in her timeline. As she makes sense of the events around her, clues lead her to a therapist, people that her husband spent his supposed "last day" with, and the discovery of a mistress, Claire. In the days she relives that Jim is still alive, she rekindles her marriage with Jim and they make love, in the hope that he ends it with Claire. On another day, as Jim drives to rendezvous with Claire, he has a change of heart. Linda is behind him in another car and horrifyingly realizes that Jim is in the exact location where his accident is about to happen. Linda warns him, and he turns around, only to collide with a huge truck, thus failing to reverse his fate. Later, Linda goes on with her life with one positive outcome from her "nightmare," she is pregnant with Jim's child.
