Flashback, alternatively titled The Education of Fredrick Fitzell, is a 2020 Canadian mystery thriller film written and directed by Christopher MacBride.

He remembers a girl named Cindy Williams and visits the high school and asks a librarian about her.

Fred gets more flashbacks and is accosted by a scarred homeless person in his car while he is parked in an alley.

Fred begins to have memories of a child who walked past him in high school who looks like the homeless person.

Fred pieces together a series of words from memories of the homeless person and the child which tells him that there is an invasive lifeform that forces people to perceive time linearly (as a way to control them by seeing their outcomes as inescapable) and that the drug allows people to temporarily break free of this and see all temporal possibilities.

Realizing that he can travel through multiple timelines, Fred flashes back to Cindy at the abandoned club.
