| At forty-three, Jeff Winston feels trapped in an unhappy marriage and dead-end job. Then one day he suffers a fatal heart attack -- only to awaken in 1963 as his eighteen-year-old self with all his adult memories still intact. Armed with his financial knowledge of the next twenty-five years, Jeff "replays" his life as a hedonistic playboy. Everything is perfect -- until Jeff turns forty-three again, dies, and finds himself back in 1963. As Jeff ponders the possibilities of multiple lifetimes, he encounters another "replayer" and attempts to discover the secret behind "replaying" -- and its purpose. | ||
