Lowly clerk Barry Thomas is very interested in his co-worker and scientist Lisa Fredericks who barely even notices him. That night Barry witnesses her death in a traffic accident as he heads home from work. Much later as he laments her death, he receives a bad electrical shock at exactly midnight. The next morning he slowly becomes aware that all the events of the previous morning are repeating themselves. The shock caused him to be aware of the time loop, while everybody else was obvious to the repetition. Over several loops, Barry learns how to save Lisa while in the process getting him fired and arrested for being in the wrong place and for superior knowledge of events, a problem that often occurs in time travel stories. In some loops he gets much closer to Lisa than others. Barry eventually learns that Lisas boss Dr. Thadius Moxley illegally and unethically proceeded with a weapon program that caused the time loop. Dr. Thadius Moxley henchmen are also behind Lisas murder who had uncovered part of his illegal activities. With the help of an undercover government agent, Barry and Lisa must stop her boss and prevent him from ever activating the machine again or the world will remain stuck in a time loop forever.
