Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Larry Burrows (Jim Belushi) is unhappy and feels powerless over his life. He believes that his entire life could have turned out differently had he not missed that shot in a baseball game when he was a youth. One night he meets a mysterious man called Mike (Sir Michael Caine), who could change his fate by offering him that alternate life of which he always dreamed. But as Burrows embarks on this journey of self-discovery he realizes that even this new life has its problems and drawbacks.
