Thirteen
What would you give to relive the happiest year in your life? After stressing about his up-and-coming 43rd birthday, Xavier is granted the ability to relive what he claims was the last happy year in his life by a mysterious stranger only known as Arnold. As Xavier awakens as a 13-year-old in 1991, he initially struggles with adjusting to being a teenager who's going through puberty. He eventually decides to change his teenage memories for the better, which distances him from his childhood friends while also putting him in the crosshairs of the school bully, Tony. Xavier also sparks a relationship with Imani, one of the most popular girls in school and a childhood crush of his. Even though he is warned by Arnold that making too many changes could have catastrophic consequences for his future, Xavier continues to reshape his childhood which forces him to deal with unexpected traumatic experiences that put him and his friends’ futures at risk. Xavier learns that things aren’t always what they seem as re-living the last good year of his life isn’t as enjoyable as he thought. Will he be able to survive a full year as a teenager, or will the choices he made ruin his life forever?
