Storyline

Tru Davies, a medical grad student in Boston whose grant is suddenly pulled out from under her, takes a job at a local morgue. There, she discovers that she has the power to "re-live" the previous day over again to help the people who wrongly ended up dead. She uses this gift not only to save lives, but to help her trouble-plagued family - her older sister Meredith, a lawyer and drug addict in denial; and her younger, irresponsible, slacker, gambling brother Harrison.

User Reviews

Delicious Dushku

Whatta treat! Eliza Dushku in a "Run Lola Run" esque performance about a young college beauty, whom realizes her childhood dream comes true when she can repeat the day and save the lives of those whom died before their time! The original pilot was filled with emotional techniques that made me feel like I knew Tru Davies (Dushku). We all have dreams as children, and if they all came true...we would be just like TRU. I only wish... Clearly one of the best from FOX since 90210, or Party Of Five. Eliza Dushku sizzles as the Tru Davies character, and the rest of the show has great development and twists!

10/10
