Joseph (Adam David Thompson) and Sidney (Riley Dandy, Christmas Bloody Christmas) are brother and sister who have barely escaped a robbery. To escape arrest, they head to an abandoned farm that just so happens to be a place where multiple timelines all intersect and end up being part of an experiment. They are told that unless they follow a set of instructions, they can never leave.

Directed and written by Michael Felker, who edited Synchronic and Something In the Dirt, Joseph thinks that he has it all figured out, as they can hide in another dimension for a few weeks, unable to be found until the cops forget all about the robbery. This was produced by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who made the aforementioned Something In the Dirt, and like many of their movies, this has many twists and turns, becoming almost unpredictable.

Joseph and Sidney are told that to escape, they have to kill someone who is also in this time. They have no idea who it is, when they are coming and what they have to do. Sidney has a daughter that she never wants to abandon and Joseph has already cost her two weeks.

This is not a simple movie to understand at points but it all comes together. It feels like the leads could have been in several films as these characters, as they are so well lived.
