Synopsis: What if you could travel back in time and change one pivotal moment in your life? For John Sullivan, the answer is clear: he would prevent the October 12, 1969 Bruxton fire that claimed the life of his father, a heroic firefighter. When an unexpected opportunity arises, John may finally get his wish, along with consequences he never anticipated.
