After a concert in New Orleans, Liam goes on a walk alone in hopes of getting in better mood. the concert had gone great, but Danielle braking up with him beforehand took it's tole. He ends up crossing paths with a voodoo witch and getting him, as well as the rest of the absent band, cursed.
He wakes up the next morning having gone back in time to exactly one month before X-Factor auditions. He gets a call from Niall, whom he realizes is the only boy- besides himself- with any recollection of the past. Or, now the future. They meet a girl and realize they now have a chance to change the future. They can try to persuade these boys that have no memory of them into a band, or they can get a second shot at becoming solo artists.
