Short description
Evan Trehorn - played by Ashton Kutcher - is a college student who has suffered from blackouts and memory loss since he was a child. He is tormented by repressed childhood memories and he visualises his best friend and first love, Kayleigh - played by Amy Smart - as a child, whose father is a child molester and whose brother has a sadistic streak. When Evan discovers that he can travel back in time he realises that he can change things as well. Also he soon discovers that a minor change can have a calamitous effect further along the chain and that playing God has its fair share of problems. The twists and loops of the plot are woven into the script by J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress who also directed this time-travel thriller.
Long description
Throughout his childhood, Evan was under the care of a
psychologist who encouraged him to keep a journal, detailing the
events of his day-to-day life. Now in college, Evan reads from one
of his journals and finds himself thrust suddenly, inexplicably
back in time. He comes to realize that the notebooks he keeps under
his bed are a vehicle by which he can return to the past and reclaim
his memories. But these recollections only leave Evan feeling
responsible for the damaged lives of his friends, most crucially that of
Kayleigh, his childhood sweetheart who he continued to love
into adulthood.
