It premiered at the 2015 Fantasia International Film Festival and had a limited release in theaters and on video on demand and iTunes on January 22, 2016.

To activate the process requires radioactive material created by KMC — a company owned by Klaus Meisner, a venture capitalist.

His suspicions are apparently confirmed when Chuck calls him on his cell phone and tells Beale that Abby is not to be trusted and that the test was much more successful than they initially thought.

During the second test, heartbroken and not thinking clearly, Beale makes a mad dash through the machine into the wormhole, with these parting words: “You may own the Dahlia, but you don’t own me.” In an attempt to avoid losing ownership of his company, Beale had reasoned that he needed to send something through the wormhole — namely, himself — that did not belong to Meisner from an intellectual-property standpoint.

He seduces Abby but soon learns that she was honestly attracted to him: A science writer herself, she had read an article about him and crafted a fanciful story in a journal about what he must be like.

Beale enlists the help of Chuck and Matty in making an unscheduled wormhole to send himself into the past with his new knowledge, to try and prevent the research from being stolen.

He returns to the Grand Hotel, where he sees Abby's apparent act of betrayal was done purposefully to get more radioactive material to make the second test happen, to send Jim Prime away, and to save Beale's life.

The consensus states: "Synchronicity's sci-fi reach exceeds its low-budget grasp, but it has some interesting ideas and serves overall as a nifty calling card for writer-director Jacob Gentry.

[5] Ken Guidry of Indiewire rated it B and wrote, "With all this in mind, Synchronicity isn't just some love letter to Blade Runner, it's actually pretty damn good in its own right.

[7] Steve Prokopy of Ain't It Cool News wrote, "Synchronicity has heart and humor to counter its periods of despair and angst, and it all blends together with touch of grace and ambition that science fiction lovers are going to devour.

"[8] Drew Tinnin of Dread Central rated it 3.5/5 stars and wrote that the film "turns a fairly familiar sci-fi premise into something more than just a moody homage to dystopian classics like Blade Runner".
