Early Edition

What would you do if tomorrow's paper came to your door today? If you knew that you were going to die? Be lucky in love, unlucky in life? That's what Gary Hobson must ask himself every day. Gary is a stockbroker who got fired from his job; his wife found him uninteresting and kicked him out. You see, it's quite simple. Every day an orange cat comes to his door with a "Chicago Sun-Times". Gary doesn't know where it comes from. He did a bit of research and found out that a man named Lucious Snow, an old typesetter, he had the paper before Gary. The day after Snow died, the paper came to Gary. Gary has two friends. Chuck Fishman, who has been best buds with Gary since college, wants Gary to give him the scores of games, winning lotto numbers, stocks, or even soap-opera tips. Gary's blind friend Marissa helps him make all the right choices.
