What would you do if you drowned at your thirteenth birthday party while saving your girlfriend and woke up the next day to realize you got to live the day over? Filbert Doover does just that and continues to do it a half-dozen more times. He grows older with each attempt, even to the point of marrying Sophie, the girl he rescued the first time. Along the way he befriends Luke, a paraplegic his age who lives in a foster home. At his third death Fil and Luke both drown, which starts them on their road to discovering why they're being continuously reincarnated together. The best part, if dying repeatedly has one, is that they get to keep all the memories and skills from every previous life.Luke and Fil create and refine the Exosuit with each reincarnation. This cybernetic construct allows Luke to leave his wheelchair behind. When the military learns of their creation, they both become actively involved in creating a combat model which evolves into a ground and air version. Fil ultimately gets to use their creation to rescue his Special Forces father, who went MIA on Fil's tenth birthday.Sophie is a Native American from a dysfunctional home who spends the majority of her weekends and summers on the Doover's sofa. Although she isn't reborn with her two favorite guys, she does accept their explanations each time when they share intimate details of their knowledge of her which she has shared in previous lives. Having studied tribal lore and mysticism, she easily accepts their situation and becomes an integral part of helping them develop their best future. Sophie has spent many hours in self-defense training, a fact which manifests in several surprising scenarios.Follow Fil, Sophie and Luke as they face the challenges of knowing more about life than young teenagers should while battling Russian kidnappers, Taliban rebels, and life in general. There greatest challenge may be explaining to Fil's mother and grandmother, whom they all ultimately live with, how they know more about life than they possibly can. How will they ever convince them they don't need to go back to Middle School?
