[2] 57 Seconds follows Franklin Fox (Josh Hutcherson), a tech blogger with a deep interest in the potential of AI for healthcare.

His life takes a dramatic turn when, during an interview with visionary CEO Anton Burrell (Morgan Freeman), he inadvertently thwarts an attack, after which he discovers a mysterious ring belonging to Burrell that allows him to travel 57 seconds back in time.

Determined to use this power to address past wrongs, particularly against a pharmaceutical company responsible for a personal tragedy, Franklin embarks on a risky journey that tests his morals and ambitions.

Alongside, he navigates complex relationships, notably with Jala (Lovie Simone), using his new ability to influence and manipulate various outcomes.

[3][4] The Acadiana Advocate reported that Freeman was "writing parts of the script", and had been seen in Lafayette in March 2022, scouting locations for the film.
