Sheila uses the machine to relive the same "perfect" first date with a man named Gary (Davidson) over and over again.
The story follows Sheila (Cuoco), a woman who discovers a time machine in the form of a tanning bed at a local nail salon.
Frustrated when the night never quite goes exactly as she wants, she begins traveling further back into Gary’s childhood to "fix" his past and mold him into her ideal partner.
The film explores themes of trauma, depression, and the dangers of trying to engineer a perfect life rather than facing the messy reality of the future. Critical Reception and Themes Meet Cute (2022)
