This is a complex yet delightful film. The box announces this is like Donnie Darko for grown ups. Abe and Aaron are the best of friends who are also working on an obscure scientific project in Aaron's garage. You get the sense that something important is about to happen but you are not quite sure what until Aaron unveils the results of the experiment to Abe.

They embark on a voyage of control, control of their futures and their past. Soon extraordinary things start to happen such as bringing a mobile telephone with them to the storage room. But are you seeing Abe and Aaron, or just their past or futures, wait you can see two of them! Interesting film but the end of it is even more surprising, I had to start all over again to see where I missed the plot ... quite literally!
