The world shook the day the music died, and the face of rock 'n' roll hasn't been the same ever since. Even in 1968, Paul McCartney still couldn't quite imagine the full magnitude of the tragedy - how could Buddy Holly, so full of life and with so much more music left to make, be gone, just like that?
Plenty had changed since 1959. Paul was no longer a longing teenager, but a wildly successful member of the Beatles. One night, as he was struggling to work on new material, Paul was reminded of just how much the Beatles owed to the bright young Texan boy, with his famous glasses and Stratocaster, whose life was taken far too soon. If only he could have told Buddy, his hero, how much he had done for him.
Suddenly, Paul awakens to find himself in 1958, still the same full-grown man he was ten years later. He comes face-to-face with Buddy himself and all of his other heroes. As he gets to know them all, he must reevaluate himself and what he thought he knew. But, when the opportunity presents itself, Paul begins to wonder... Could he stop Buddy from getting on that plane?

**************************
After a tragic car accident, 14 year old Paul McCartney ends up 64 years in the past, all alone. He wakes up next to an overly excited John Lennon and his aunt Mimi in hospital, wondering how everything had even happened.
Paul has no idea how to get back.
He meets friends along the way: George, Ringo, Stuart. And in the end, maybe going back to his corrupt life in 2019 isn't really what he wants.
But does he have a choice?
(There are NO BEATLES in this au.)
