Chase Watson has just attended his mother’s funeral. Forty-something, married, two grown children. He asks his son and daughter to hit a few balls on the ball field he played on as a child; trying to to hang onto strands from his childhood, to make sense of the present. A rogue hit to third base careens off the corner of the plate striking Chase in the temple. He awakens in the lower bunk of the bed his shares with his younger brother Ricky…. 30 years ago.

Given a second chance to do what? Who could he tell that he was not 12 but 42? What would he change, if he could? Would any alteration change the whole future? Would his children be born? Would his mother have to die? Would he go back or have to relive his whole life over again?
