## Synopsis

Somewhere Between (2017) is an American network thriller created by Stephen Tolkin for ABC. Paula Patton stars as Laura Price, a San Francisco local news producer who helps the police hunt a serial killer. When the killer strikes close to home, a twist of fate sends her back through the week before the murders, a Groundhog Day style reset that gives her the chance to change what happens. Devon Sawa plays Nico Jackson, and JR Bourne plays Tom Price, both drawn into the case as the investigation tightens around the city. Each episode pushes Laura to test a new choice, learn from the last loop, and track the killer through the same streets and deadlines again. The single season runs ten episodes of about forty-one minutes, a contained run that keeps its focus on one repeating week. Set in present-day San Francisco, the show carries a tense, somber register, with the dread of a murder that cannot be fully prevented and the pressure of a race against a fixed clock. Its tone sits close to network crime procedurals, with a mind bending reset mechanic at the center. Fans of Happy Death Day, Russian Doll and The Following will find familiar pleasures in its loop structure and manhunt tension.
