This extremely low-budget conceptual Sci-Fi film about a modern time machine is one of the most prominent debuts in the recent history of American cinema.
Two friends—Aaron and Abe—work on their tech projects in Aaron’s garage in their free time. During one such research effort they discover a way to make objects disappear and reappear again in six hours. After a little while they start to time travel to make money trading shares and predicting good deals. Aaron’s impulsive nature is at odds with Abe’s cautious and controlling personality, resulting in conflict. At the same time, the complicated mechanism of their invention starts to demonstrate its dangerous qualities.
