Marcus Chen spent thirty years building a fortune on fraud, betrayal, and other people's ruin. He dies at 52, drunk behind the wheel, moments after firing the employee who tried to expose him. Then he wakes up — 22 years old, first week of his career, every memory of the man he became still intact. A force he can't fully see or understand, the Ledger Keeper, tells him this life is his chance to fix what he broke. If he doesn't, he'll live it again. And again. Marcus has to face the people he wronged before he ever wronged them — his brother, the employee, the pensioners who trusted him — while the same old shortcuts to power are still sitting right there, easier than ever to take. Repentance isn't clean. He backslides. He doubts whether he's actually a different person or just a scared one. This is a story about whether a second chance is a gift or a longer punishment.
