Jack Jr. wakes up to a world he doesn't recognize. He no longer has a nice water-view apartment, the company he worked for has been bought and no longer exists, and nobody will tell him where his finance-- the man he was preparing to spend a life with-- has disappeared to. Suddenly thirty, he's back in his childhood home working at the restaurant he ran away from at eighteen; slicing fish with his father and waking up before dawn to finish the fish run with his (now practically grown) nephew.
This story will resonate with people; it's an examination on second chances, familial love and forgiveness, and the opportunity to re-discover yourself after a new awakening. However, it wasn't for me this time around.
