This might have elements similar to Memento i.e. the time slice flashes similar to memory flashes/post-it notes: “A man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife.”
Find other films, TV shows that are similar and find their loglines and use those loglines as a guide to write yours.
