Welcome back to 2005 Australia. Again.
In the space of one week, fifty-five-year-old Damian Dove has managed to let a serial killer walk free, get caught with a sex worker, anger the media, and get himself fired from his law firm.
But a new client walks through the door and offers Damian something unusual.
One wish.
And the chance to change his life forever.
Damian Dove doesn't deserve a second chance, but alas, he got one.
The next morning, Damian wakes up in his childhood bedroom.
It's 2005, he's fifteen years old. His phone is a Nokia brick. His hair is aggressively gelled.
And MSN Messenger is the place to be.
Armed with forty years of hindsight and a lifetime of mistakes, Damian assumes this is his chance to fix everything. To make better choices. To become a better person. To find out if anyone cared about him.
But as he tries to control old friendships, finds out not many people like him, relives parts of the past and experiences childhood again, Damian realises that the serial killer he managed to let walk free was at school with him this whole time. And he might have a chance to rewrite the past.
Watching from the edges of it all is Hale. The strange client who granted the wish in the first place.
To be fair, Damian Dove has spent most of his life-giving people very good reasons not to love him.
But before Damian's story is finished, he will be forced to confront the question that has followed him across two lifetimes:
Can the past be changed, and ultimately, Who Loved Damian Dove?
