There are two sides to every story. Helen is about to live both of them ...at the same time. Romance was never this much fun.
Arriving at work one morning, Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) discovers that she had been unjustifiably sacked from her PR job. She is returning home when an amazing thing happens, time reverses itself for a few seconds and a second version of herself is created. In one reality Helen catches the tube train, meets James (John Hannah) and arrives home to find her lover Gerry cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend Lydia (Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other reality Helen misses the tube train, gets mugged, goes to hospital and eventually arrives home to find Gerry alone in the shower.
