In the quiet town of Willow Creek, Oregon, overworked waitress Sarah Bennett discovers her grandfather’s antique pocket watch: an impossible device that rewinds small moments—three minutes at most—without erasing memories or breaking the world. With help from watchful clockmaker Elliot Hargrove and a retired physicist who knew her grandfather, Sarah learns to use the “Time Code” to mend tiny regrets: a harsh word unspoken, a child saved from loneliness, a friendship preserved. But the mechanism is dying. In the end, Sarah chooses forward motion over endless second chances, sealing the watch forever and embracing the imperfect beauty of ordinary time.
