At forty-three, Jeff Winston is burdened by a low-paid, unfulfilling job, and the silence at the breakfast table with his wife echoes the sadness of their childless marriage. He yearns for happiness and holds onto the hope that it might come tomorrow. A sudden, fatal heart attack snatches away that hope. But rather than plunging into the void of death, Jeff finds himself back in his eighteen-year-old body, his memories of the next twenty-five years startlingly intact.
