______ What if you had to relive the day of your murder again and again?

West Yorkshire, 1974. Dr Heidi Quick is a newly qualified junior doctor, desperate to prove herself in a man's world. After a brutal triple shift, she accepts a lift home from her trusted colleague Fred Preston - only for him to strangle her in her own flat.

Moments later, Heidi wakes in the on-call room - alive, back on shift, forced to live the same day again. And again. But no matter what choices she makes, each time the day ends the same: with her murder.

Desperate, Heidi is forced to turn killer herself. But even with Fred dead, the nightmare doesn't end - and death comes for Heidi soon after. Now she must face a terrifying reality: escaping this loop won't come from killing Fred once.

And as it turns out, Fred Preston isn't only after her either. Beneath his charm lies the darkness of a real-life inspired UK serial killer who has been preying on the weak, the voiceless and the forgotten for years.

As Heidi relives versions of her life - sometimes making it days, sometimes decades - the lines blur between destiny and choice, victim and perpetrator, past and future. Heidi must not only outwit her killer, but prevent any other murders and bring him to justice, all whilst facing the ultimate question:

What will it take to finally break this loop once and for all?
