Norma and Arthur Lewis are a suburban couple with a young child who receive an anonymous gift bearing fatal and irrevocable consequences.

However, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world--someone they don't know.

Capsule review:

Cameron Diaz and James Marsden are offered $1 million by a sinister stranger. Of course there’s a catch. From that premise, the film veers off on a wild, incomprehensible cosmic tangent.
