Mike O’Donnell was once the most popular guy in high school - handsome, charming, the star of the basketball team, with a college scholarship in his future and a lifetime of experience that baffles even his closest friends. That was then, this is now - or is it? A magical transformation finds Mike reliving his past in the present day as a 17-year-old in the same high school he attended 20 years ago. However, this time around, his own teenage kids are his peers and his wife is the unsuspecting object of his affection.
Sometimes you wish that life can be like playing an electronic game. Game over? Start all over again. However, starting all over again may not be a good thing afterall, especially if you still have strong attachment to the present world. Unless you are like a superbeing who can change life to the way you want it to be. So, being 17 again but with the mentality of a 37 year old is really weird. Stop looking back. Instead, look to the future and enjoy and accept what is being given or taken away from you.
