Synopsis
Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana) suffers from an unusual genetic disorder - at random intervals and without warning, he travels through time to other points in his life, past or future. In his travels, he arrives without clothes, so he must first obtain clothing, usually by stealing.
Clare Abshire (Rachel McAdams) has been in love with Henry her entire life because he came to her when she was a little girl and told her his story, without revealing the fact that they would fall in love and marry later in life.
We observe their relationship at different stages of Henry's life. Clare finds him working as a Chicago librarian, but he does not recognize her, as they have never "met" in his current time. She tells Henry that he had warned her of this eventuality, and that she has always loved him. They marry and live happily, despite Henry's frequent disappearances in time for periods of hours, days or weeks.
One evening, while socializing with their friends Charisse (Jane McLean) and Gomez (Ron Livingston), they are shocked by the image of Henry writhing naked on the floor, covered in blood, suggesting that his ultimate future is to die a violent death.
