PLOT:

Gulf War veteran Jack Starks, having suffered a near-death experience while on active service, returns to Vermont in 1992, suffering from periods of amnesia. Back in the United States where he is blamed for the death of a policeman, and incarcerated in a hospital for the criminally insane. Subject to experimental treatments there, which involve him being shut inside a morgue casket while tied in a straitjacket, he eventually learns to travel through time and is able to offer help to various people.
