Day Break is a television program on ABC in the United States and on Global in Canada for which one 13-episode season was produced. The series stars Taye Diggs as Detective Brett Hopper, who is framed for the murder of Assistant District Attorney Alberto Garza. Due to a time loop, Hopper lives the same day over and over. The series revolves around his attempt to solve the mystery of the murder, and find out who is behind the conspiracy to frame him.

The series premiered on November 15, 2006. Rapidly declining ratings resulted in the show being pulled from television on December 15. ABC.com currently has the first 12 episodes available to view. The network initially stated that the remaining episodes would be released on-line at ABC.com, on Thursdays at 2 a.m. PST, the day after they would have been aired on television. ABC previously said that there were problems that kept the rest of the episodes from being shown online, calling them "unforeseen music clearance issues." On January 14, 2007, the network announced that the remaining episodes would be made available "by the end of February." ABC.com posted the six episodes that aired on ABC online on January 29, 2007, along with first four unaired episodes. Episodes 11 and 12 were then released the following two weeks.

The thirteenth and final episode, which was originally scheduled to be available on February 19, has been delayed multiple times. According to the Day Break page at abc.com, after several missed release dates, the show will premiere sometime "this week", the week ending March 3.

Synopsis

Template:Spoiler Los Angeles Detective Brett Hopper is stuck repeating the same day, in which he is framed for the murder of the Assistant District Attorney, Garza. Each day, he attempts to uncover clues to the homicide that has him on the run for his freedom. Hopper must clear his name, but those close to him get caught in the web of conspiracy that will put their lives in danger.

The days can get complicated with each decision he makes. He can face the problem and hope to break the loop or walk away - if he can.

While episodes may start at any time of the day and may contain multiple days or parts of days, Hopper begins each day by waking up at 6:17 a.m. and viewing his clock at 6:18 a.m. Hopper only carries his memories and his body, with any injuries, over into the next repetition of the day. However, injuries sustained to other individuals do not carry over to the next day. If Hopper makes enough of a difference in one situation, related events are sometimes altered.
