Eight-year-old Alfie Logan discovers he can undo any moment and live it again. The catch is permanent: he must accept whatever happens in his second attempt. Alfie grows up erasing mistakes and avoiding embarrassments. He takes dangerous risks knowing he can always tap back to safety. As an adult, he uses his gift to perfect romantic encounters, studying women before rewinding to charm them successfully. He falls deeply in love with Gianna and finds happiness. But when his attention drifts to other women, Alfie learns his power has one cruel limitation: if he undoes a love, that person can never love him again. Years later, an aging Alfie sits in custody after allegedly cheating at casino roulette to win millions. A detective questions him about his impossible winning streak. Through their interrogation, Alfie reveals his extraordinary ability and the devastating choice that changed everything. This is a story about desire, consequence, and discovering what matters most when you can have anything twice except the love you throw away.
