In 2006, architect Michael Newman is consistently taken advantage of by his overbearing boss, John Ammer, and often prioritizes work over his wife Donna and their children Ben and Samantha. One night, unable to keep track of multiple remote controls, he visits Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a universal remote. He stumbles around various departments before falling asleep on a display bed. Waking up, he enters the "Beyond" door and meets a man calling himself Morty. Morty gifts Michael a prototype universal remote control, warning him it cannot be returned.

Michael soon discovers that the remote can control not just electronics, but also the universe. He uses it at work to cause slight mischieves and "fast-forward" past perceived inconveniences such as heavy traffic, illnesses and arguments.
