Plot edit

Dean, an inventor, plans a special weekend getaway at a hotel to celebrate his first anniversary with his girlfriend Lana. However, the romantic weekend is interrupted when Lana's ex-boyfriend Terry unexpectedly shows up. After a disastrous confrontation, Lana leaves.

Distraught, Dean uses a time machine he invented to travel back one day, aiming to correct the mistakes and make the weekend perfect. Upon returning to the past, he tells his past self how to avoid the disruptions caused by Terry. However, this intervention leads to unforeseen complications; instead of fixing the situation, Dean ends up creating another version of himself.

The Dean from the original timeline and the Dean from the altered timeline compete for Lana's attention, but make things worse. As they attempt further time-travel intervention, more versions of Dean, Lana, and even Terry appear, each with varying knowledge of the events that have transpired.

The hotel becomes a maze of overlapping timelines filled with Deans and Lanas, all trying to outsmart each other and fix the situation. The original Dean realizes that each attempt to repair the weekend only makes things worse and more confusing. In a final attempt to set things right, he tries to eliminate all other versions of himself and Lana by going back to the point where he first used the time machine. He plans to destroy the machine, preventing any of the subsequent timelines from occurring.

Dean reaches the initial point and realizes his obsession with creating the perfect moment has only led to chaos. He destroys the time machine and returns to his original timeline, where he finds Lana. The two reconcile and acknowledge that while their relationship may not be perfect, it is real and worth preserving. They leave the hotel, ready to face an uncertain but genuine future together.
