Noah and Emily Carter built their marriage into a social media empire. Over a million Instagram followers watch their picture-perfect life unfold through carefully staged photos and uplifting posts. But the constant performance has destroyed their real relationship. Noah's addiction to online validation has pushed Emily to her breaking point. She calls her friend Kari Baxter Taylor and admits the truth: their marriage is over. Noah plans to leave in the morning. When Noah wakes up, Emily has vanished and his children are decades older. Like Scrooge facing his Christmas ghosts, Noah experiences a series of supernatural events that thrust him twenty years into the future. He sees the consequences of walking away from his family. The man who once commanded millions of followers now faces complete isolation. Noah must find a way back to yesterday before he loses everything that truly matters. This story unfolds in a single transformative day that forces Noah to choose between his digital fame and his real family.
