SPENCER HONG'S FATHER IS DEAD, AND SHE'S HOLDING THE KNIFE THAT DID IT. There's a sickening smell of copper and a lingering taste of betrayal present in the room. Her hands shake, but she's not afraid. Not like she was the first time. She looks at what she has done, and then the world goes black.
This has happened before.
October 13. She wakes up, over and over, the same day– the same knock from her sister on her bedroom door to wake her, the same conversations at school, the same rock that she trips over on her way home, the same argument that leads to her father's blood on her hands. No matter what she does or says it always ends the same, the compulsion to take the knife from the kitchen is inescapable. The clock resets, and she does it all again.
It's all the same, the same day again and again – like an old scratched up cd replaying the same part – until one day, it isn't. Until one day, where she sees someone break the routine she has inadvertently committed to memory. It's something small, that she under any other circumstances wouldn't have noticed at all, but watching as a classmate takes a sip from a water fountain which she's never done before, she learns that she isn't the only one trapped like this, living life on a loop.
The pair begin to work together, day after day they explore their city and they open up about their lives, and quickly learn that their days reset at the same time: as Spencer stands, hands shaking and soaked in red, the other meets their end at the hood of a moving car.
At 10.13pm.
They soon come to learn that there are others also trapped in this cycle, 9 in total, strangers who prior to this has only ever passed each other on the streets, if even that. Somehow, they're all linked by something they just can't seem to understand.
And so they stay, living the same day over and over, together. No matter what they do, everything leads them right back to their original places, and it all gets reset at 10.13pm. They're young forever and essentially immortal, not aging a day, bonded and impossibly linked to one another with no idea of how to ever break the loop.
