However, one day before the election, he meets a captivating ballet dancer named Elise Sellas, portrayed by Emily Blunt, in a chance encounter at a men's restroom.

Unbeknownst to David, a group of mysterious individuals called the Adjustment Bureau works behind the scenes, overseeing and controlling every individual's fate.
