"Jeff Winston, 43, has just died of a heart attack. However, instead of 'resting in peace' he becomes a 'replayer', that is, someone who repeats his life over and over again. While Jeff replays his life, he makes different changes in it along the way, and discovers how his life before he died plays a part in the life that he keeps reliving."

"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."
