Plot Summary

Architect Michael Newman is consistently being taken advantage of by his overbearing boss, John Ammer, and often prioritizes work over his ageing parents, his wife Donna, and their children, Ben and Samantha. One night, while working on an upcoming project, he has an argument with Donna about cancelling a family trip in favor of working on the project. Unable to keep track of multiple universal remote controls, he visits Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a universal remote. He stumbles around various departments before falling asleep on a display bed. After he wakes up, he enters the ‘Beyond’ door and meets a man calling himself Morty.

Morty gifts Michael a prototype universal remote, warning that it cannot be returned. Michael questions Morty as to why he would just give him the remote and not charge him for it. Morty tells him that ‘good guys need a break’. Returning home, Michael accidentally discovers that the remote can control not just electronics, but also his whole life. He uses it at work to cause slight mischiefs and ‘fast-forward’ past perceived inconveniences, such as heavy traffic, illnesses, and arguments. Morty tells him that during these times, his body is on auto-pilot, going through the motions while his mind skips ahead, essentially stating that the remote is at least sentient.

Anticipating a promotion after using the remote at a work dinner/presentation, Michael spends lavishly on himself and his family, only for Ammer to reveal that he will instead have to wait several months. Feeling like he has disappointed his family, Michael uses the remote to skip ahead to the promotion, which skips an entire year of his life. In 2007, Michael is in marriage counseling with Donna, and the family dog, Sundance, has died. The remote, having learned Michael’s preferences, begins to fast-forward automatically whenever there is a problem that Michael usually fast forwards through.
