Plot summary
Two years after her boyfriend Max died in a car crash, Harriet still grieves him. Songs tied to Max pull her back into the past, and the episodes look like seizures, so she wears noise-canceling headphones in public. She keeps trying to reach Max and change what happened. At a grief support group she meets David Park, who is mourning his recently deceased parents and struggling to keep their antiques business going. Harriet invites him to a DJ set with Morris, her friend, the only person who knows she travels through time. She and David grow closer, but a song interrupts when they try to kiss, and Harriet avoids explaining the headphones. Morris suggests she move past Max.
