Description
David shares a close bond with his eight-year-old son, Chris, but their family is destroyed when David dies.
In the afterlife, he is given an opportunity. He is told that he may be granted three viewings by which to look in on his son. The terms are strict: he cannot help his boy. He cannot reach him, or teach him, or in any way change the course of his life. David agrees, and on three separate occasions observes his son’s unfolding story.
The first viewing takes place one year after his own death. The second shows him his son at the age of nineteen. David’s final viewing shows him the final days of Chris’s life.
What David sees will not leave him. He has a simple but impassioned request: ‘Let me take his place’.
