Je možné zabránit vraždě, která se už stala? Je půlnoc, Svátek Všech svatých, a Jennie netrpělivě vyhlíží svého osmnáctiletého syna Todda, který měl být dávno doma. Když se však Todd konečně vynoří ze tmy, stane se Jennie svědkem něčeho hrůzného – z panoramatického okna vidí, jak její bezproblémový, intelektuálně založený vtipálek ubodá úplně neznámého muže. Jennie netuší, kdo je oběť, ani proč Todd spáchal tak strašlivý zločin. Ví jen, že její a Toddův život je v troskách. Todda zatkne policie a Jennie nad ránem vyčerpáním usne. A když se probudí je včera. K vraždě ještě nedošlo a ona si uvědomí, že jí může zabránit. Každé další ráno se pak vrací hlouběji a hlouběji do minulosti a postupně jí dochází, že pokud chce celou tu záhadu rozlousknout a syna zachránit, musí dojít až k nejhlubším kořenům Toddova zločinu.

Joanna je šťastně vdaná, ale i po třicítce se stále tak trochu hledá, vyhýbá se zodpovědnosti a nerada se rozhoduje. Nepříjemné záležitosti odsouvá, nezaplacené účty schová pod postel – přesný opak jejího muže Reubena. Jednoho pátečního večera si vyrazí ven s kamarádkou. V baru je však začne obtěžovat jakýsi muž, a protože ho Joanna nedokáže rázně odmítnout, raději z podniku samy odejdou. Cestou domů však za sebou Joanna zaslechne kroky a je si téměř jistá, že je to onen muž z baru – navíc má stejné červené tenisky. A tak ho Joanna překvapí, v pudu sebezáchovy do něj strčí a on spadne z mokrých schodů… A pak to Joanně dojde – pod schody v liduprázdné uličce leží bezvládné tělo muže s tváří v kaluži vody a to, jak se ona sama teď zachová, změní její život. Zavolá pomoc a ponese následky? Uteče, protože to byla sebeobrana, a byla tak v právu? A je to vlastně ten muž, co ji obtěžoval?
