Synopsis

Matthew is an autistic programmer teetering on the edge of burnout. Exhausted from the demands of everyday life, he packs up his cat, his plants, and just enough clothing to get by, and escapes to a quiet small town in search of peace.

Across the street from his temporary apartment is a cozy knitting café. Hoping to ease his anxiety, Matthew agrees to help out at the shop in exchange for lessons, and a pair of mysterious heirloom knitting needles.

But after his first day on the job goes horribly wrong, Matthew wakes up to find… it’s happening all over again. Caught in a time loop that resets each morning, he’s forced to relive the same awkward, overstimulating, wool-filled day on repeat, unless he can knit his way toward something more meaningful.

With every loop, Matthew begins to unravel not just yarn, but pieces of himself. As he starts to help the quirky townspeople, he may just discover how to stitch his life back together.
