It follows a young nurse named Quinn, played by Elizabeth Lail, who downloads an app that predicts how long a person has left to live. The app shows Quinn that she only has three days left, and she soon realizes that it's not just a game, and that everything written in the app comes true.

Quinn struggles to find a way to avoid her fate while trying to convince her friends that the app is real. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure begins following her, and she discovers that other users of the app have died after the countdown reaches zero.
