WHAT IT S ABOUT:
Niles (Andy Samberg) has been living the same day over and over. He gets up. Sometimes has sex with his girlfriend that he knows is cheating on him. He usually goes to the wedding that he is in Palm Springs to attend. Sometimes he has to survive the latest attack from Roy (JK Simmons), the only other person caught in the same time loop. Occasionally, he even travels far out of Palm Springs. The days always end the same way, with him waking up in the same bed, at the same place, on the same day. When Sarah (Cristin Milioti), the bride s dysfunctional sister, unintentionally gets caught in the same time loop, nothing will ever be the same for Niles, Sarah or Roy ever again.
