Synopsis
Bob Bloomfield's whole life changed when his little brother Tom was tragically killed in childhood. Now a ruthless corporate partner, with a "materially rich, spiritually empty" existence, Bob has done enough living for two. But then the impossible happens.
A seemingly ordinary phone allows Bob to connect to the past... and speak with his twelve-year-old self. And his calls back through time are creating real changes in the present. Which leaves Bob with two questions:
Is this a chance to prevent his brother's death? And will he like the world he's created if he succeeds?
