What Is ‘The Adam Project’ About?

The teaser opens on a 12-year-old boy named Adam, played by Walker Scobell. He’s struggling with the loss of his father (Mark Ruffalo) and getting into trouble at school, which is causing his mother (Jennifer Garner) a great deal of concern.

One night, a strange man (Ryan Reynolds) enters his house. He knows his way around the house, he has the same scar, and he’s wearing his late father’s watch. Adam quickly realizes that he is talking to himself… from the future.

Reynolds explains to his younger self that “This world, our world, everything has already been changed” and they need to team up to “put the genie back in the bottle.”
