Haunted by buried memories, a young man uncovers a technique that lets him slip back into his own past and reinhabit his childhood body. At first the chance to correct mistakes and confront old wounds seems like salvation, but each decision he makes sends unexpected ripples through the present—altering relationships, identities and the very life he thought he knew.
