But days after the operation, he feels shaky and ill, passes out, and wakes up in a different time. He soon realises he' s slipped through time, back to the 1960s. There he meets, Michael, who Andre feels an instant connection with. But just as suddenly as he arrived, Andre slips back to present-day Boston. As he tries to figure out if he' s losing his mind, the family of his donor reaches out to let him know his new liver may have side effects. . . of the time travel variety.
