Plot[edit]

At a party, teenager Courtney is convinced by her friends to download Countdown, an app that seemingly predicts how long a user has left to live. Courtney is startled that it says she only has 3 hours left to live. After avoiding getting into a car with her drunk boyfriend Evan, Courtney receives a notification stating she has broken the 'user agreement'. Returning home, she is attacked by an unseen entity and killed as her timer reaches zero. At the same time, Evan crashes and a tree branch goes right through where Courtney would have sat.

Quinn Harris, a nurse who works at the hospital where an injured Evan is admitted, suffers frequent sexual harassment by her boss, Dr. Sullivan, but fears speaking out as she is new. Evan tells her about Courtney and his suspicions about the app. He also reveals it states that he will die at the time he is due to go into surgery. Quinn is dismissive of his claims but eventually downloads it. She is horrified to learn it says she has only three days left. Evan skips his surgery and is informed he has violated the user agreement. He is killed by a demonic version of Courtney.

Quinn cancels a plan to go out with her younger sister Jordan and their father before being informed she has broken the user agreement. She researches the app, learning about Courtney and that similar things have happened to other app users, but they are regarded as fake. Panicked, she buys a new phone but discovers the Countdown app has installed itself on it. After being attacked by a demonic figure, she encounters Matt, whose Countdown states he will die a few hours before Quinn.

Quinn learns Sullivan has tricked the staff into thinking she sexually harassed him: as a result, she is suspended. Matt is attacked by the entity taking the form of his deceased brother. They look at the user agreement, which states the agreement is broken if the user tries to change their fate: Quinn's trip with her family and Matt taking a train ride, which they both canceled, would've resulted in their original deaths. They hack into the app and learn Jordan is due to die right before Quinn. Derek, the phone salesman who helped them hack into the app, adds more years to all three of their life spans. However, Quinn is attacked by the demon and the countdowns revert to their original times.

A priest they consulted, Father John, identifies the demon as Ozhin. He theorizes the curse can be broken if someone dies before their countdown ends or lives after. They prepare a warding circle to protect them from the Ozhin's attacks, but Matt is lured out by the Ozhin, who took the form of his younger brother, and killed.

Quinn takes injured Jordan to the hospital, where she learns Sullivan also harasses other staff members. Realizing she could kill him before his time to end the curse, she attacks him, but he is saved by Ozhin, who realizes what she is doing. The Ozhin prepares to kill Jordan but Quinn overdoses on drugs, sacrificing herself. Jordan notices Quinn has written something on her arm: 'Narcan'. She revives her with Naloxone ('Narcan') and the duo succeed as the countdown timers stop.

Later, Quinn hears news about Sullivan's arrest after more nurses came forward. She discovers an update of the app, Countdown 2.0, has downloaded itself onto her phone.

In a mid-credit scene, Derek is on a Tinder date. His Countdown app says he has broken the user agreement. The lights in the restaurant go out before he is attacked by the demon.
