✦ Synopsis

1 - Midlife Crisis
If you were offered the chance to live six days of your life over again, which would you choose?

Richard Kent is feeling well and truly fed-up. As he approaches middle-age, his waistline is expanding, his career options are dwindling, and everything from pop music to television seems like it was so much better in his youth.

If that wasn't depressing enough, his wife nags him, his kids ignore him and his boss thinks he's a dinosaur. He's just about ready to give up but then a truly remarkable encounter with his younger self changes everything.

#2 - Rock Bottom
Kay's life is in a mess. Now she's been given the chance to go back and relive six days of her life again. Can she use them wisely to turn things around?

At 18, she had it all - brains, beauty, and plans for a glittering career. By 43, she is barely scraping a living and renting a grotty flat above a chip shop. Traded in by her husband for a younger model, she spends her life seeking solace in vodka and one night stands.

With her new found ability to time travel Kay makes good use of her trips back in time, from reliving Christmas Day in the 1980's to turning private detective in her own divorce case. But will an attempt to unmask a murderer in the local community be her undoing?

#3 - My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday
Imagine living live backwards, one day at a time, from your deathbed all the way to your birth.

When Thomas Scott wakes up in hospital on New Year's Day he has no memory of who he is or why he is there. Racked with pain from a terminal illness, death swiftly follows. When he wakes to find he is alive once more he is confused to discover that it now December 31st. As the days pass it becomes clear that the calendar is running in reverse.

Trying to find some purpose in life, he resolves to find out as much about his own personal history as he can. Learning of the death of his wife and an attack on his daughter, he prepares to make changes in the past to secure their future.

#4 - Happy New Year
Amy was never very keen on New Year's Eve - and that was before the time travel accident that sent her plummeting back into the past. Now she's living every New Year of her life all over again.

Starting at thirty-nine years old, she grows progressively younger, revisiting snapshots of her life along the way. From dealing with an unfaithful boyfriend to trying to help her alcoholic mother, she attempts to make the most of her second chances, with varying degrees of success.

As Amy grows ever more youthful, the reality of her impending mortality looms ever larger. Her only hope is to track down the mysterious stranger who sent her back through time, but he is nowhere to be found.
