Barney Page is wandering Manhattan from bar to bar in an alcoholic haze. He's even sunk to sleeping in a Bowery flophouse. He used to be one of Broadway's top actors, the toast of the town. But that was before his wife Sheila took an overdose of sleeping medicine and didn't wake up. That was before he strangled his lover, Fern. That was before he found himself on a lower platform on the Grand Central subway, his options run out, his life completely forfeit, on the lam from the police, with only two friends left in the world. But what if he were given a second chance? What if he could live this last year all over again? What if he could change it all for the better...?
