Until Chance suddenly finds himself waking up back at the beginning of his first day at college, confused as to what is going on, Chance soon learns that he somehow now can control time including reliving certain periods of time over and over, while trying to figure out how to control his ability and how he acquired it, Chance decides to try to use his abilities to piece together the puzzle behind who/what was behind the phenomenon and prevent it by reliving the same day over and over again.
