S01E01 WORK CRUSHES AND WORMHOLES
At ChronoStore Dynamics, the days move along in familiar rhythms—sales calls, small talk, and the quiet push to get ahead. Then the mysterious portal in the break room starts to act up, generating a wormhole that creates time glitches sending people a little backwards and forwards in time.
Clark, a by-the-book employee eager to prove himself the equal of sales manager, Mitch, finds an unexpected opportunity in the glitches. When moments begin to reset, he quietly starts reattempting the same sales call, trying to get it right. Each try brings him closer, but it’s only after Janice encourages him to be more confident does Clark secures a deal—though it means bending company rules and agreeing to a date with a client--Sandra from Google. Is making a sale worth compromising who Clark is--or is Clark more than he thinks?
Janice, shaped by decades at the company and a series of divorces, keeps her focus practical—running the office, monitoring her house plants with a baby monitor, and offering the kind of advice you collect with age. Even while Janice warns Sherry not to get too close to others, it's Janice's advice that helps both Clark and Sherry through their problems.
Sherry, the founder’s daughter and frequent bridesmaid, is trying to understand what she wants from love and life. She considers a relationship with Mitch, though she isn't really attracted to him--wondering if love is necessary in a world where the norm seems to be to get married. Finding out that Mitch is unavailable, closes the door on that option, but doesn't fully answer Sherry's questions and leaves her exploring what she truly wants.
Tori, balancing work with family, helps Clark through his repeated attempts at sales calls, drawing on the hard-earned wisdom of raising a family. If only she could stay connected to her own family in a meaningful way, while she's stuck in the office. She nearly misses an important call to her son’s school, and is only just saved by Clark who uses the portal to give her a second chance to get her phone call right.
And just as the portal’s effects seem to settle, Sherry discovers a strange recording device containing what sounds like Clark’s voice, talking about infiltrating a company and hinting at something much bigger—possibly even the end of the world.
