Harry August is on his deathbed again. Every time he dies he is reborn in exactly the same time and place a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes when death comes he always returns to where he began and nothing ever changes. He only knows that there are others like him living with but apart from the rest of us. This is the story of what he does next - what he did before - and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.
