How far would you go to save the first love of your life?

Ten years ago on an August night, Steve Ranley crashed his ride into a tree, taking a big part of Oliver Canfield’s soul with him. In the decade since, Oliver and Bradley MacIntyre have built a successful life together, but their relationship has always been haunted by Steve’s death. On the dark anniversary, Oliver is thrust back counterclockwise in time to the summer before Steve’s accident. Using his second chance, Oliver vows to alter the events leading to the tragedy. He reunites with Steve, only history doesn’t follow the exact course as he remembers it, and circumstances lead to him meeting Bradley years before he was meant to. His corrupting of established time could save the first love of his life while dooming the second.
