The film is set in New York City during October 1999. John Sullivan (Caviezel), a 36 year old homicide detective, is still traumatized over the death of his fireman father, Frank Sullivan (Quaid), thirty years ago. Living in the same house where he grew up, he discovers his father's ham radio following a breakup with his girlfriend, and begins transmitting.
Because of unusual aurora borealis activity, John discovers he has managed to make contact with his father exactly 30 years in the past the day before his death because due to awarehouse fire. John is able to warn his father of the fire that would have otherwise taken his life, and although Frank initially disbelieves that John is his future son, he heeds John's advice when he realizes that John accurately described the outcome of both Games 1 and 2 of the1969 World Series, which had yet to be played when their initial conversation takes place.
In the next conversation, Frank is momentarily occupied and allows Young John and his best friend Young Gordo to talk to Grown John on the radio, who, knowing Grown Gordo is into finance and the stock market tells him to remember `a magic word': Yahoo, telling him it's like `Abracadabra'.
Having saved his father from the fire, John now creates a new timeline, while paradoxically retaining his memory of the old. The following day, in this new altered timeline, Frank dies of lung cancer from chain-smoking instead some years later, and John's mother Julia "Jules" Sullivan (Elizabeth Mitchell) is murdered by a serial killer. In the old timeline John's mother left her job as a nurse at a hospital to attend to Frank's funeral arrangements, but in the new timeline, she remains at work and is present to save the life of a man who is later revealed to be the "Nightingale Killer", a man who would have died that night from being given a lethal mix of Benazepril and Benadryl had she not been there to correct the error. In the erased timeline, the "Nightingale Killer" had killed only three nurses before his death, with the corpse of one victim not being discovered until 1999. Having been saved from death, he goes on to kill a total of ten women with Julia being sixth.
Using information from 1999 police files on the impending six killings, John and Frank work together across the gap of time to stop the murderer in 1969 and save Julia. Frank successfully averts the murder of the first expected victim, but when he tries to prevent the next, he is attacked by the killer in a nightclub bathroom and his driver's license is taken from his wallet. When he regains consciousness, Frank rushes to the woman's apartment only to find he is too late.
