In fact\, his daily "to do" lists are le gendary. A man known for playing it safe\, Frank doesn't believe in spontan eity. Every choice he makes is deliberately designed to contribute to a wel l-ordered\, predictable life. But life\, as he soon learns\, never adheres to a strict schedule. Frank's wife\, Susan\, and seven-year-old daughter\, Jesse\, find his obsession charming in small doses\, but as a steady diet i t can be very frustrating. One morning\, Susan attempts to loosen her husba nd's scheduling stranglehold by adding ten minutes to his day. But\, by set ting the clock backward instead of forward\, she inadvertently unleashes a series of mishaps that turn his meticulously ordered life upside down. A be lligerent ferryman\, a ruthless seductress\, a reluctant mother-to-be and t he secret amor of his best friend\, Buddy\, combine to send his life into c omplete chaos. As his life unravels in several directions simultaneously\, however\, a stunning family revelation forces Frank to look fate squarely i n the eye. Shaken to his core\, he starts living entirely "in the moment\," allowing him to defy the conventions that have heretofore defined him. Tho se carefully coordinated index cards that had once kept his life in perfect order now become a deck of chance as Frank scribbles spontaneous ideas on random cards\, shuffles\, chooses and follows the luck of the draw--with un expected results. Frank is about to discover that not even an efficiency ex pert armed with timetables and index cards can change the serendipitous nat ure of family and friendship\, love and forgiveness.
