The Butterfly Effect 2

DramaSci-FiThriller95 min

After a car crash kills his girlfriend Julie and two close friends, Nick is left with grief and a series of migraine-like seizures that seem to open a path back into his own memories. Eric Lively is Nick, who discovers he can revisit the past and try to rewrite the day of the accident; Erica Durance's Julie becomes the center of his attempts to undo what happened. Each change to the timeline creates a different version of the present, turning Nick's effort to save the people he loves into a chain of unintended consequences.
