Reality splits into two possibilities for physicist Lauren Martin on the first day of her fabulous new professor job. One Lauren is flattened by a car and one Lauren is left standing on the side of the road. Lauren saves herself by picking the possibility in which she's not bleeding to death. A smokin' hot colleague, Mario Rivas, helps her solve the mystery of what happened: she can use quantum mechanics to pick possibilities and affect reality. When Mario and Lauren steal a kiss, it's a doozie and totally destroys the man-cation Lauren imposed to heal her broken heart. Things only get more complicated from there as Lauren's students use quantum mechanical possibilities to commit crimes and people start dying. Lauren steps up and risks her life, her relationship with Mario, and incidentally, reality itself, to stop the quantum criminals. In the end, Lauren foils the bad guys and the positive possibilities are endless... | |
