He Suddenly Time Travels 12,000 Years in The Past During The Ice Age Wearing Only Summer Clothes

It’s a stormy night and in a hotel, a young  couple lays in bed holding hands as they take a new illegal upper called Synchronic. While they  wait for the fun effects to start, the man leaves the room and takes the elevator, and in only a few  seconds they both start seeing things. In the bed, the woman watches how shrubs and plants appear in  the room before the walls fade away and a tribal man appears as well. Now the woman finds herself  in the middle of a dense jungle and as the man comes cl

oser, she notices a snake coming toward  her too, making her scream. In the elevator, the man sees the walls disintegrating and a  desert wasteland appearing in front of him. When the elevator floor suddenly disappears, the  man finds himself falling onto the sand. Meanwhile in the suburbs, best friends Steve and Dennis  are working as emergency paramedics. Tonight they respond to a call about a case of overdose  and go to a house where they find two people on the floor and a neighbor that says

she heard weird  noises and someone talking in French. Dennis tends to a bleeding man who is still alive, discovering  a bleeding exit wound on his back. Steve tends to the overdose victim and accidentally gets  pricked by a syringe before he injects the girl with medicine, making her wake up. The police  soon arrive and find a wrapper for Synchronic, concluding that this is simply a result of addicts  attacking each other. On their way out, Steve sees a copper coin on the floor and picks it up.

While  the duo takes the bleeding man to the ambulance, the cops find a bloody sword stuck to a wall.  Sometime later, Steve and Dennis take a break during which Steve plays golf. He also examines  the coin he found and sees the stamped date is 1721, which he finds curious. Worried about the  prick, later Steve has himself checked for HIV, and the doctor recommends that Steve goes through  a complete medical checkup. The following day, Steve goes to his friend’s family picnic to  celebrate Denn

is's daughter's birthday. Steve sees Dennis' eldest daughter Brianna sitting  alone on a boulder and decides to approach her, knowing that Brianna sees him as the cool uncle.  Brianna tries to tell Steve about what she’s currently going through, but she is interrupted  by Steve's phone call. That night at work, Dennis and Steve make their way to the latest emergency,  which includes somebody having burned to death. Officers inform them that they're unsure how the  victim died because they saw no

other signs of fire nearby. They did find an empty Synchronic  wrapper as well as an out-of-place doorknob that has melted. Some time later, Steve gets a brain  scan at the hospital and discovers he has a tumor, which leaves him shaken. Afterward Dennis and  Steve go to their next case, which turns out to be the couple at the hotel. The woman has a snake  bite on her knee and is in a state of shock, only speaking to mutter her boyfriend’s name. They find  another Synchronic packet at the scene,

and the animal control worker tells them they’ve searched  for the snake to no avail. He also tells them that he recognizes the snake bite and it could’ve only  come from a snake that hasn’t been seen in the area for decades. Then Steve finds a bag from  the shop where the victim got the Synchronic. At that moment, the hotel caretaker tells them  he heard a loud bang from the elevator shaft, so Dennis goes to investigate. When he opens the  elevator doors, he finds the woman's boyfriend at the

bottom of the shaft, dead but still looking  happy about it. On their way to the hospital, Dennis notices Steve taking medicine more  frequently. Steve meets with his doctor, who tells him that the tumor is cancerous and affects  his pineal gland. There aren’t exact numbers, Steve may have six weeks left or several decades.  It depends on how he'll react to the medication and therapy. Later, Steve considers telling  Dennis the news but decides against it. Dennis plays basketball with Brianna, tr

ying to connect  with her. He’s worried that he may’ve become a little distant as a father, but Brianna tells him  that she’s not going through anything terrible, she’s just worried that she still doesn’t  know what to do with her life. In the evening, Dennis meets Steve at the bar and gifts him a lamp  for his birthday. Then Dennis opens up about the doubts he has about his marriage, confessing he's  unsure if being a family man is what he wants. He looks at Steve's lifestyle as a bachelor and

can't  help but feel jealous sometimes. Dennis chooses that moment to finally confront Steve about all  the medicine he's been taking, worried that Steve may have an addiction, but Steve doesn’t tell him  about the tumor. Instead he just says he can take care of himself. The next day, the duo arrives at  a house party after another call about an overdose and they find two teenagers: one is dead on the  floor and the other is speaking incoherently. They ask her if there are others, and she says 

a girl named Brianna was with them. Terrified to hear his daughter's name, Dennis calls his wife  and learns that Brianna isn't at home, confirming it’s his daughter who has gone missing. Now that  a loved one has fallen victim to Synchronic, Steve decides to visit the shop that sells it and buys  all the remaining packets. A man sees all this and follows Steve to his car to offer to buy the  Synchronic from him, even offering much more than the store’s price. However Steve tells the man  off an

d drives away. At Dennis’ house, he and his wife are contacting the authorities and printing  out flyers for Brianna. The wife is devastated, always thinking they aren’t doing enough. That  night, Steve is lying in bed with his dog Hawking when he suddenly hears a noise coming from the  living room. Taking a bat with him, he goes to investigate, and when he opens the closet he  finds the man from the shop. Steve threatens to beat him, but the man confesses he was the one  that made Synchronic. H

is name is Doctor Kermani, he works as a chemist, and he has been trying to  buy back the Synchronic that is being sold all over the country. His job consists of making  synthetic uppers by changing the molecular structure of legal medications and turning them  into something that mimics illegal substances. Synchronic was supposed to be a simple way to  have fun, but he accidentally made something that allows people to travel through time. Apparently  Synchronic distorts the fabric of spacetime,

allowing people to cross to different periods.  Because it impacts a person’s pineal gland, adults with a developed pineal gland can  only appear as shadows or ghosts in the past, but younger people with an underdeveloped pineal  gland can travel entirely and even get stuck in a different time. Kermani has been spending his time  tracking down all the Synchronic to destroy it, and the shop had been his final stop. Skeptical,  Steve tells him that he flushed the Synchronic down the toilet and or

ders Kermani to leave.  Believing all Synchronic had been eliminated, Kermani leaves, but it’s then revealed that Steve  didn’t flush the Synchronic, he actually only threw them in the trash. The following day, Steve  is at his chemotherapy session and as soon as he finishes, he immediately feels the side effects  and starts vomiting randomly. While he works, Steve is exhausted all the time. Suddenly  Dennis gets a call from the hospital, informing him there’s a missing supply of  morphine. He i

mmediately suspects Steve because he still doesn’t know about the tumor and he has  noticed the changes in Steve’s health. Soon they get another call about a man with a broken  leg, and when they arrive at the location, they discover the victim speaks a different  language. They still start treating the man, and Dennis begins giving Steve instructions. This  annoys Steve and he says he knows how to do his job, but Dennis replies he doesn’t, implying  Steve came to work after consuming morphine.

As they head out, they get into an argument that  starts with a few insults but soon escalates into throwing fists at each other, so the ambulance  driver has to break them apart. Steve leaves, going home alone. Later that night, Steve examines  the coin he got from the crime scene, and the sight of the date convinces him to try Synchronic.  Only a few minutes need to pass before bright lights begin filling the living room, and when he  turns, he sees a swampland slowly appearing around him as h

is living room walls disappear. Eventually  the living room disappears completely and Steve is left in a swamp. He looks around, smelling and  touching everything, barely believing what he’s seeing. There’s a man stalking him from a distance  muttering a prayer, but Steve’s attention is on a crocodile suddenly approaching him. He backs away  as he notices he’s also starting to disappear, and at that moment, the stalker is revealed  to be a Spanish Conquistador. The man starts charging at Steve w

ith his sword, who doesn’t  know what to do because he’s caught between the crocodile and a crazy dude. But just when  the Spaniard is bringing his sword down on him, Steve appears back in his living room, finding  Hawking staring at him very confused. Steve almost dismisses what happened as a dream until he sees  a slash mark on the floor from the conquistador’s sword. Finding all this fascinating, Steve decides  to document his experience with a video camera, explaining that Synchronic allows

him to go  back in time for seven minutes and that he suspects that the same happened to Brianna.  He takes another dose and slowly disappears, then he shows up in the middle of a frozen  wasteland, meaning he immediately starts freezing. Steve notices a figure approaching him,  but at that moment he collapses from the cold. Seven minutes pass and Steve immediately reappears  in his living room still shivering. He reaches the conclusion that the time period he gets to visit  is dependent on his

location in the living room, so he tries again in the same spot. This time he  puts on a coat and carries some firewood. When he shows up at the frozen landscape, he manages to  start a fire and watches the figure approaching him and pointing a spear. When the person is close  enough, Steve finally sees he’s a caveman. He touches the caveman’s spear, and once the caveman  lowers it, Steve offers him a seat. The men sit across from each other for a moment while the  seven minutes pass and Steve s

lowly returns to the present. The following morning, Dennis and his  wife are having more trouble with their marriage, because Brianna’s disappearance has made their  already existing problems worse. Meanwhile Steve hears from the radio that Doctor Kermani has  ended things for himself. Later that night, Steve thinks about the fact the paramedics found  the copper coin, the sword, and the doorknob in the houses they visited, meaning he should be  able to carry things too. Deciding to experiment,

he takes another Synchronic and as he starts  disappearing, he embraces Hawking. He successfully brings Hawking back with him, but unfortunately  they’ve arrived at a period where most of the population is incredibly racist. They’ve popped  up in a house where a man chases them out, so Steve and Hawking run away, only to find  everyone in the town looking at them in the same way. Seven minutes pass, but to Steve’s shock,  he doesn't disappear. He decides to return to the house where he and Hawk

ing appeared in, taking  another Synchronic before sneaking inside. Sadly the man discovers them and calls his friends, who  appear in very infamous white drapes. Chaos ensues in the living room, and Steve gets separated from  Hawking. As Steve tries to grasp Hawking’s leash, the men are about to shoot Steve, but suddenly he  reappears in his living room without Hawking. At that moment Steve hears Hawking whimpering and  runs to the window, only to see Hawking slowly fading away. This incident h

elps Steve reach  two conclusions: if seven minutes go by and you are not at the place where you first appeared  you'll be stuck in the past, and he needs to grab the object he wants properly because he  only brought back Hawking's leash. The worst part is that he can no longer retrieve Hawking  because he doesn’t have enough Synchronic left. Afterward Steve decides to go to the university  dorms where Brianna went missing. Earlier one of the teenagers in the incident said Brianna  was seen sitt

ing at a spot before disappearing, and Steve tries to travel at that exact location.  He ends up in the middle of a forest where several men conduct a ritual and mistake him for a spirit  they've summoned. They immediately swarm him, and Steve begins running away in the direction he came  from. Fortunately he’s able to grab a lawn chair and gets transported back to the present with no  issues. At that moment the teen who told him about Brianna shows up and clarifies that Brianna had  wandered of

f, she didn’t actually disappear from that specific spot. Sometime later Steve meets  with Dennis at a bar and Dennis confesses that he may be getting a divorce. He feels guilty about  not fulfilling the promise he made to his wife on their wedding day and explains that she's loved  him unconditionally but he doesn’t think he has been returning the love. He says that Brianna  was the only one keeping their marriage afloat, and now that she's gone, he feels that  nothing is holding them together.

Steve then reveals that he'd exchange his bachelor life  for Dennis's stable married life in a heartbeat, which surprises Dennis. Then Steve finally reveals  the truth about his brain tumor, which leaves Dennis greatly upset. Steve tries to calm him down  by telling him he's been doing chemotherapy, and the two reconcile, prompting Dennis to reveal that  it was actually their ambulance driver who had been stealing the morphine. Later at a cemetery,  Steve shows Dennis video footage of the evide

nce of Synchronic's effects, which leaves Dennis  worrying about Brianna being stuck in the past. Then Dennis realizes that Brianna may’ve left  a message for them to decipher in the present, which makes Steve remember the small boulder  at the park where they had sat together. The duo rushes to the boulder and finds only one word:  "always". This must be where Brianna disappeared, so with only two pieces of Synchronic left, Steve  decides to go back for her. This time Steve gets transported to

the American Civil War, and there  are bombs and gunshots going off all around him. Steve immediately runs to a bunker and finds a  mound of dead soldiers as he keeps calling out to Brianna. He has no choice but to crawl through  piles of bodies until he finally hears Brianna calling him back. The two of them finally reunite  and Steve gives Brianna his last Synchronic, explaining that they have to reach the  boulder in seven minutes or else they'll be stuck in the past forever. The duo starts 

running toward the boulder, only for Steve to get shot. Brianna has to help him move, but at  that moment a random soldier appears and calls Steve a slave as he holds them at gunpoint.  This causes Steve's seven minutes to run out, meaning he's stuck in this time period. However  he still can save Brianna, so he makes a plan. When he sees a mine in front of the soldier,  he baits the man to get him to step on it, but unfortunately the soldier steps over it as he  gets ready to shoot. Suddenly Br

ianna disappears and a massive explosion shakes Steve and the  soldier, causing the man to lose his balance and step on the landmine, which explodes him to  pieces. Steve then rises to his feet and sits on the boulder while in the present time, Brianna  reappears and reunites with her father. Then they see Steve appearing ghostly on the boulder  before fading into nothing, stuck in the past.
