But he hopes for better things, for happiness, maybe tomorrow ... But a sudden, fatal heart attack puts paid to that. Until Jeff wakes up in his eighteen-year-old body, all his memories of the next twenty-five years intact. If he applies those memories, he can be rich in this new chance at life and can become one of the most powerful men in America.

      Che cosa accadrebbe se fosse possibile rivivere la propria vita all'infinito? Jeff Winston, quarantatré anni, intrappolato in un matrimonio insoddisfacente e in un lavoro noioso, muore nel 1988 per risvegliarsi nel suo passato, diciottenne, nella sua stanza della Emory University. Tutto è come l'ha vissuto...ma con una sola, cruciale differenza, lui sa già cosa gli riserva il futuro: conosce i risultati degli eventi sportivi, l'andamento della borsa e gli eventi storici che segneranno l'umanità in quegli anni. Jeff può scegliere di cambiare tutto della propria esistenza: amore, figli, lavoro, guadagni, quello che vuole. Ma in nessun modo riesce a comprendere per quale motivo sia proprio lui destinato a rivivere di continuo la sua vita... Quante volte dovrà continuare ad avere - e poi, inesorabilmente, a perdere - tutto ciò che ama?
