A disheveled man arrives at a Norms diner in Los Angeles and claims to have traveled from the future, where artificial superintelligence has destroyed humanity. An unknown combination of people from the diner can prevent the AI's creation; through trial-and-error, this is the man's 117th attempt. Announcing that he has a bomb, he enlists diners Susan, Scott, Janet, Mark, Marie, and Bob, and initially rejects Ingrid before changing his mind.
