Luke Hunter pensa di scherzare nel preannunciare a un caro amico il momento esatto - le 8:37 della mattina seguente - e le precise modalità - colpito da un furgone rosso fuori città - della sua morte. Ma quando gli eventi si svolgono proprio come lui aveva previsto, e l'amico muore esattamente come lui gli aveva preannunciato, Luke prova a ignorare la cosa. Decide quindi di allontanare amici e famiglia, e di sottrarsi a fatica alle crescenti attenzioni della cittadina in cui vive.
