July 22, 2032 - 6:05:17 p.m. There is no flash of lightning. No white light. Just the end of a world that, shortly afterward, begins again exactly as it was.

The rain begins at 6:42 p.m. Daniel Tempo stands at the sink in his apartment, reflecting on a life that no one would have written a novel about. He is fifty-one, reliable, unassuming. But a few minutes later, in Lindenbrück Park, a lightning strike changes everything.

When Daniel opens his eyes, he stares at a wood-grain wallpapered ceiling that shouldn't exist anymore. A Nokia cell phone lies on the nightstand. The tinny radio alarm clock reads July 24, 2004. He's twenty-two years old again. And in his hallway drawer lies the lottery ticket-he already has the exact winning numbers memorized.

What begins as the ultimate dream of a second chance quickly turns into a centuries-long tragedy for Daniel. No matter how rich he becomes through Bitcoin, how methodically he prevents accidents, or how often he outwits fate: on July 22, 2032, at exactly 6:05:17 p.m., his world is wiped out. Over and over again.

Trapped in an endless loop of time, Daniel loses the ability to live in the present. Every marriage becomes a mere repetition, every encounter a data point. And worst of all: the children he fathers in his various lives are turned, by nature's minute coincidences, into unborn spirits in the next loop-ghosts that exist only in his memory. Love becomes optimization. Grief becomes statistics.
