After recuperating from a gunshot wound to the head, Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (
Adrien Brody) returns to his native Vermont suffering from amnesia. When he is accused of murdering a police officer and committed to a mental institution, a physician, Dr. Becker (
Kris Kristofferson), puts him on a controversial treatment regimen in which Starks is injected with experimental drugs, confined in a straight-jacket, and locked for extended periods in the body drawer of the basement morgue. In his drugged and disoriented state, Starks’ mind propels him into the future, where he meets Jackie (
Keira Knightley), and discovers that he is destined to die in four days. Together, they search for a way to save him from his fate.
