Evan soffre di amnesie fin da bambino. Mentre rilegge alcuni avvenimenti traumatici nei suoi diari, viene catapultato indietro nel passato, che presto scopre di poter influenzare. Cambiare anche il minimo dettaglio, però, sconvolge tutto il suo vissuto, e il destino di Evan e dei suoi amici, al risveglio, è completamente cambiato.
