Before I Fall

PlotSamantha Kingston is a popular high school senior with a seemingly perfect life. She wakes up on February 12th, known as Cupid's Day, expecting it to be another ordinary day filled with roses, love notes, and a party with friends. However, the night takes a sudden and tragic turn when she gets into a car accident after leaving the party. Instead of moving forward, Samantha finds herself waking up to the same day again and again, reliving her final day repeatedly. Confused and desperate, she tries to make sense of what's happening and how she can break the cycle. Her decisions and actions throughout each repeated day reveal deeper layers of her relationships with her family, friends, and classmates.
As Samantha continues to relive February 12th, she begins to realize the impact of her actions on those around her and starts to reflect on her own behavior and moral choices. Struggling with the frustration and heartache of her situation, she learns to see people in a new light and discovers hidden truths about her loved ones and herself. Each iteration of the day brings new insights and gradual growth, as Samantha endeavors to not only break free from the loop but also to make amends for past mistakes and seek redemption. The repetitive nature of the day forces Samantha to confront harsh realities and ultimately leads her on a path of self-discovery and transformation.
