Trailer

After initial sparks, the couple ends up hooking up at the beach but their fleeting moments of romance come to an end when Nyles is shot with an arrow by a mysterious man after which he stumbles into an endless time loop. Sarah comes looking for Nyles and even though he tries to stop her, Sarah too ends up being sucked inside the loop which they realize the next morning. Sarah is scared to no-end by this complicated situation that she's been pulled into as opposed to Nyles who's handling it like a boss.
