Stuart Conway (Sean Astin) is just your everyday scientist, a simple man who has a wealth of knowledge at his disposal and not a lot of luck when it comes to getting a date. But Conway has an ace up his sleeve, a brand new invention called The Slipstream Device which, when activated, allows him to move ten minutes into the past with the push of a button. When Conway decides to test his time-travel gadget, he stumbles upon a bank heist being perpetrated by Winston Briggs (Vinnie Jones), an Englishman with a nasty streak a mile-wide. Can Conway save the day, his own life, and the life of beautiful F.B.I. agent Sarah Tanner (Ivana Milicevic)?
