- Wrongly condemned for killing his wife, a man finds himself in a mysterious institution where he is sentenced to relive her death for eternity.
- Edgar is on the floor of the bathroom giving CPR to someone. Then all of a sudden he is in the car with his wife Maylon, and he is upset. Is he remembering a dream or was that a real memory? Maylon is concerned, and she should be since he is driving and apparently distracted. Edgar stops the car. And there is a call from the school. Maylon's her 13-year-old son Gogan is in trouble for hurting someone.
Maylon appears to be Asian, Middle Eastern or Native American. There are subtitles when she speaks to Gogan..Edgar refers to grading papers, so he is a teacher. He taught Maylon English and they fell in love. Which is somewhat surprising, because Maylon is beautiful, Edgar is kind of a loser nerd and his brother Lance is good-looking. Edgar suspects Maylon of cheating on him, and his relationship with Gogan is not ideal. He wants Gogan to live with other relatives, and Gogan doesn't want to. Gogan is wrong about why.
The couple returns home and they seem to be getting along fine. Edgar mows the lawn because Gogan didn't, and he has trouble with the mower. Lance comes over and fixes it. In scenes inside the house, Edgar ends up in a different place suddenly more than once. It's like he's still dreaming.
Then Edgar goes into the bedroom and finds himself in a long depressing hallway with many doors, all of them locked. When he finally finds a door that will unlock, he is in what looks like an AA meeting except the stern woman known as "Facilitator" who is in charge appears on a TV screen with a weak signal as if on an analog broadcast but is somehow able to see everything that happens in the room, though we can't see a camera, and it would have to be multiple cameras for her to see everything. Also, if someone breaks that TV, the laws of science don't apply here.
Edgar has no idea why he is there. A hot woman named Doris wearing a miniskirt and boots is quite mean to Edgar. In the edited-for-TV version she says a word that can't be heard followed by "Off!"
William is a group member who gets up and admits what he did wrong. He is kind of shy and submissive. Apparently everyone has done something wrong and they have to admit it. Edgar won't participate and eventually he leaves the room and goes into another one. In that room is a demanding man, also on a TV screen, who resembles Christopher Meloni of "SVU". He explains things to Edgar and expects him to do what he is told. Apparently Edgar is dead.
At some point the events at the beginning of the movie repeat themselves; maybe this is like "Groundhog Day". Maybe Edgar will get to do things differently. Different details are shown, as if some details were left out the first time. This time Edgar tries to stop what is inevitable. There is one additional detail, though. He suspects Maylon of having an affair with Lance and realizes Maylon may have tried to kill him.
Somehow Edgar ends up back in that place. Julien is kind of a rebel and tries to help Edgar and be his friend, while at the same time being kind of a bully. Doris ends up being nicer as well. We learn what each person did and it's pretty terrible. Isabel is the only other member of the group mentioned by name, but she doesn't do much. She makes her confession while the others are plotting what they will do.
Edgar knows a way to escape and he wants to help the others. In the room with the man who looks like Christopher Meloni,there is a possible escape route. Does this end the nightmare? Does he get a chance to try again and make things right? Actually, there are two other possibilities. The third option is that Edgar can see details he didn't see before, which help him understand what was really happening.
A fourth option leads to the ending.
