"Sam Rockwell stars as an otherwise unnamed man who shows up at a Norms diner in Los Angeles looking like a homeless person but claiming to be a time traveler from an apocalyptic future. He's there to recruit the locals into his war against a rogue AI, although the diner patrons are understandably dubious about his sanity."
"The fact that he knows everything about the people in the diner is more convincing. It's his 117th attempt to find the perfect combination of people to join him on his quest. As for what happened to his team on all the previous attempts, 'I really don't like to say it out loud. It's kind of a morale killer.'"
"It's a darkly satirical, inventive, and hugely entertaining time-loop adventure that also serves as a cautionary tale about our widespread online technology addiction."
