Thursday. Her two daughters at school, suburban housewife Linda Hanson answers the door: it's the sheriff, informing her that her husband Jim died the previous day in a car accident. She picks up her children and tells them, her mother comes, and Linda makes it through the day. When she awakens on day 2, it's not Friday, it's the previous Monday. Jim is in the kitchen having breakfast. Linda thinks Thursday has been a nightmare, but the next morning when she wakes, it's Saturday after his death. And so forth for seven days - Linda goes between before and after. She pieces things together, realizing her marriage was failing. Can she save it? And can she save Jim? Wednesday approaches.

The hospital ER featured in the movie was actually an old second-floor ICU.

Linda Hanson:
I wake up and he's dead. I wake up and he's alive.

Continuity: When Linda is walking toward the trash can, the level of tissues on top of the pile changes when she actually reaches in for what she is looking for.
