Synopsis: | Nate is confused and in pain. He awakes one morning to find a severe aching in his lower back to which his wife Sophie pays no attention. Since the discovery of his back hurting coinciding with the meeting of his brother in law's girlfriend, Gates, life seems to have taken a turn into the Twilight Zone. His wife starts accusing him and distancing herself from him in every way possible. Additionally, Nate seems to be able to control time and starts to re-live portions of his life in order to try and figure out what is making Sophie so angry. Though the more he tries the deeper into limbo he gets and can't figured out if it just the imaginary affair with Gates that Sofia is angry about or if her brother Sam and her have done something to provoke that constant pain following him around. | |||||
