Early Edition

Gary Hobson receives tomorrow's newspaper today, with no explanation for how or why, and has 24 hours to correct the events described in the paper.

Gary Hobson, a former stockbroker, receives tomorrow's Chicago Sun Times newspaper every day from an unknown source, an orange cat, which delivers it to his doorstep. The paper's origin is mysterious, but Gary has discovered that it was previously owned by Lucis Snow, an old typesetter, who died the day before Gary started receiving it. With the help of his friends, Chuck and Marissa, Gary must navigate his new reality, where he has access to tomorrow's information, but struggles with his own mortality and personal relationships.
