Life gave them a second chance. High school gave them a headache.
Ethan Cole is forty-five, tired, and running on cheap coffee and regret. Since his wife died, he's become a ghost in his own house, watching his fifteen-year-old son, Liam, drift further away every day. Ethan would give anything to fix it. He just didn't expect the universe to take him literally.
After a mysterious atmospheric anomaly rocks their small town, Ethan wakes up. Not with back pain and a hangover, but with smooth skin, endless energy, and the sixteen-year-old face he hasn't seen in decades.
He's not alone.
Across town, Adrian Chase-tech mogul, former best friend, and the guy who broke Ethan's heart in high school-has also de-aged. Now, two middle-aged men trapped in teenage bodies must navigate the hellscape of modern high school without blowing their cover.
Ethan's mission? Get close to Liam, protect him from the shadowy government agents hunting "anomalies," and fix their broken relationship from the inside.
Adrian's mission? Survive Ethan.
Forced into proximity, old sparks ignite, and buried secrets claw their way out. As the threat against Liam grows, Ethan and Adrian realize that surviving high school the second time around might just be the easy part. Falling in love again? That's the dangerous part.
It's never too late to grow up.
