Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert) |
Growing up, Evan Treborn and his friends, Lenny Kagan and Kayleigh Miller, and Kayleigh's brother Tommy, suffered many severe psychological traumas that frequently caused Evan to experience amnesia. These traumas include being forced to take part in child pornography by Kayleigh and Tommy's father, George Miller; being nearly strangled to death by his institutionalized father, Jason Treborn, who is then killed in front of him by guards; accidentally killing a mother and her infant daughter while playing with dynamite with his friends; and seeing his dog, Crockett, burned alive by Tommy.
Some time later, while entertaining a girl in his college dorm room, Evan discovers that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he can time travel and redo parts of his past. His time-traveling episodes account for the frequent blackouts he experienced as a child since those are the moments that his adult self occupied his consciousness. After a traumatized Kayleigh kills herself, he travels back in time and convinces George to never touch her. He comes back to a reality where he and Kayleigh are a happy couple living in college. However, in this reality, George took out his frustrations in Tommy, who grew to be even more unhinged. Tommy eventually attacks Evan, who kills him in a fit of rage and goes to prison for it. There, he manages to travel back to when Tommy was going to kill his dog and stops him from doing so, but Lenny, who is bullied by Tommy and has become mentally unstable after the dynamite accident, kills the boy. Evan wakes up in a reality where Lenny has been institutionalized and Kayleigh has become a drug-addicted prostitute. He now travels back and stops the woman and her daughter from being killed with the dynamite, but is himself caught up in the explosion. In the new reality, Lenny and Kayleigh are a happy couple and Tommy has become religious, but Evan is a double amputee and his mother developed lung cancer after becoming a chain-smoker due to Evan's condition. To save his mother and himself from such a fate, Evan goes back to before the explosion to try and get rid of the dynamite, but accidentally kills Kayleigh in the process.
Evan wakes up in a mental hospital and finds that, in this reality, the journals do not exist and his brain has suffered irreversible damage (the assimilation of dozens of years' worth of new memories from the alternative timelines causes him progressively worsening brain lesions). At one point, Evan has a conversation with a doctor who reveals that his father had the same abilities before losing the photographs (in the new reality) that allowed him to time jump, causing everyone to believe him to be crazy (he tried to kill Evan when he realized his son inherited his curse). Evan ultimately reaches the conclusion that he and his friends will never have good futures as long as he keeps altering the past.
After escaping the hospital staff and barricading himself in an office, Evan travels back one final time, via the use of an old home-movie, to the day he first met Kayleigh as a child. He intentionally upsets her so that she and Tommy will choose to live with their mother in a different neighbourhood, instead of with their father when they divorce. As a result, they are not subjected to a destructive upbringing, do not grow up with Evan, Lenny is never bullied, and all go on to have happy, successful lives. Evan awakens in a college dorm room, where Lenny is his roommate. As a test, he asks where Kayleigh is, to which Lenny responds "Who's Kayleigh?" Satisfied that his friends' futures are secure, Evan burns his journals and videos to avoid altering the timeline ever again.
Eight years later in New York City, Evan exits an office building and passes Kayleigh on the street. Despite a brief look towards each other, they both keep walking.

I sell tangible goods - NOT feedback. For this reason, I do not leave feedback for buyers, and never have done. I use the automated feedback system which eBay provides sellers. It is triggered to leave a positive rating and a random comment (from a list of 10 saved comments) upon receipt of positive feedback from the buyer - or in simpler terms, at the conclusion of the transaction.
If you're expecting feedback prior to the conclusion of the transaction, or if you expect personalised rather than generic comments, please be prepared for disappointment. Any/all message requests for feedback will either receive a generic reply, or be ignored completely.
So the bottom line is; don't expect feedback, don't be a feedback beggar, and your feedback score will automatically increase by one after you complete the transaction. If you disagree with my feedback policy, please find an alternate seller.
