Plot Summary

Michael Newman, an overworked architect, is frustrated with his life and his inability to balance work and family. He purchases a universal remote from a mysterious store, which allows him to control his life, fast-forwarding through unpleasant moments, pausing when he wants to savor good times, and rewinding to relive or correct past events. However, the remote soon develops a mind of its own, taking over Michael's life and causing him to miss crucial moments and realize the consequences of his actions.
