When Ruby meets Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio), a quirky hospice nurse, she thinks he's another freaky weirdo like all the other guys she's dated. But as she gets to know him better, his funny little mannerisms start to grow on her. So they move in together and romantic bliss ensues. Gradually, Ruby finds a couple of mysterious clues hidden in their apartment that reveal Sam might not be who he claims to be. When Ruby confronts him, he tells her he traveled back from the future to meet her because he fell in love with a photograph he found of her in a curio shop. Ruby thinks his story is some kind of kinky fantasy that he's using to spice up their sex life, but when strange coincidences begin to make his story seem true, she wonders. If Sam is telling the truth, he may change her life forever, but if he's lying, then what? Anthony Michael Hall makes a hilarious cameo appearance in one of the funniest scenes in the movie. [More]
