Storyline (from IMDB) Harriet (Lucy Boyton), finds art imitating life when she discovers certain songs can transport her back in time literally. While she relives the past through romantic memories of her former boyfriend, her time travelling collides with a burgeoning new love interest in the present. As she takes her journey through time, she must consider whether or not she should change the past.

Plot (from Wikipedia)Harriet is mourning her boyfriend, Max, who died two years ago in a car crash. Her emotional recovery is complicated by an unusual ability: whenever she hears songs associated with Max she travels back in time to that moment. In the present, these episodes manifest as a seizure, and to keep herself from inadvertently traveling, Harriet wears noise canceling headphones when out in public. Harriet tries multiple times to save Max's life. During one of her trips, she asks Max if he would save her life if it meant they would never meet.
In her grief support group, Harriet meets David Park. David is grieving his recently deceased parents and trying to keep their antiques business afloat. Harriet invites him to a DJ session by her friend Morris, the only other one who knows about her time travel. When Harriet and David hit it off, Morris advises her to move beyond Max.
Harriet travels back to the moment she and Max first met: a concert where she impulsively followed him into the crowd after striking up a conversation. In the present she rebuffs David's questions about the headphones. They attend several functions together and grow closer, but when they try to make out, Harriet hears one of her triggering songs and breaks it off. She later comes clean to David about what is happening to her, but he believes her trips to be hallucinations.
David finally takes Harriet to his parents antique shop. She realizes that she's been there before, with Max. She uses one of the songs to travel back in time and leave a message there for David. He finds the message and realizes that Harriet can travel in time.
Harriet finally has confidence that she can change the past, but she also realizes he loves David and that if Max didn't die then they would never meet. The two of them discuss what to do, with David telling her that he would save his parents if he had the chance. Harriet travels back in time to the concert, and when Max invites her to follow him, she declines.
In the new present, Harriet is happy and no longer needs the headphones. At a coffee shop, Max walks past her, arm in arm with another woman, he and Harriet don't notice each other. Harriet and Morris attend a concert where David and his sister are also attending. Harriet and David catch each others eye.
