Rhiannon finds her boyfriend Justin unusually attentive. They skip out on school for a day off. The next day, he has lost the memory of what happened. She is befriended by new student Amy. The day after that, she meets Nathan at a party and Justin is jealous. The next day, she goes to meet with Nathan only to be told by a girl that she was Nathan the day before and Amy the day before that and Justin before then. His name is A and his consciousness transfers from one body to the next every 24 hours.
The premise is a little different. This is a sci-fi YA high school melodrama. It's got a good hook. Angourie Rice is a cute and compelling lead. While the premise is interesting, the story lacks intensity. The drama isn't high enough. It needs a real villain and Justin is never that. Whether manufactured or naturalistic, this movie needs some more drama. I don't know anything about the source material. I imagine some internal discussions about relationships which are harder to translate into film. This one does that about as well as it can be expected.
