Plot
Seven years after the death of Donnie Darko, his sister Samantha struggles with his death and has started sleepwalking. She joins her best friend Corey on a road trip to California. When their car breaks down in Conejo Springs, they get help from the town's "bad boy" Randy. The pair learn that a local boy, Billy Moorcroft, has gone missing. That night, during a bout of sleepwalking, Samantha meets a homeless veteran with PTSD nicknamed "Iraq Jack" living in a junkyard, and the pair sit and talk atop a windmill.
The next morning, Samantha wakes up outside and sees that a meteorite has crashed into the windmill. Samantha and Corey meet Jeremy, a nerdy young man who bought the meteorite and is investigating it. Samantha learns that Randy's younger brother is missing and presumed dead. That night, a surreal vision of an undead Samantha with a piece of metal lodged in her skull takes Jack to the local church and commands him to burn it. The next day, police find his dog tags in the ashes.
Samantha wakes up next to a highway, where she encounters Randy and Corey in a car together. Wanting to leave town, Samantha walks off into the highway, where a car hits and kills her. Anguished about her best friend's death, Corey meets a boy who leads her into a portal, which takes her back in time to shortly before the crash. Corey reconciles with Samantha, but Corey is struck and killed in the same car crash, devastating Samantha.
