Description
Gerald Holstrom is an inmate at Folsom Prison. He wakes up every day with the same regrets. His feet are tired, his back aches and his hands shake from the last 47 years as the prison's most popular barber. He tells himself to live one day at a time, to focus on what he can change and let go of what's behind him. He believes that if he never talks about the crime that landed him a life sentence at the age of 19 he can leave it behind, and it won't define him.So he waits, he serves time. Until on a fateful summer afternoon one of Gerald's young friends angers the wrong people. Gerald is met with a life and death choice, and this time he makes the right decision. His dying wish was to see the sky without barbed wire blocking his vision. He fades out...then back in. Only now, there is no barbed wire. Now, his legs and back don't hurt. His hands don't shake. He's 19 again, and he hasn't made the decisions that will lead him to 47 years and a death at the end of a sharp piece of metal. He's in the world he grew up in; 1950's California. How did he get there? Is he actually going to get the chance to make better decisions? Will he be able to change his future?Not everything is as it seems, Gerald isn't alone, there are others out there like him. When he meets a teenager who confidently wields a machete, he begins to understand the high stakes of his new life. He'll have a second chance, but at what cost? Gerald's soul hangs in the balance, as does the existence of everything he's ever loved. How do you change the future when those more powerful are fighting you at every step?
