Reliving the past. Remaking the future. In 2024, after a lifetime of bad luck, Blake Sims dies alone and angry about what could have been. But that was not the end of Blake's story. It's the beginning of a new version of his life when fourteen-year-old Blake wakes up in 1994 with the memory of a vivid dream. A dream of living a whole life filled with disappointment, which all started in his sophomore year of high school when his father died. The dream is odd, and Blake thinks nothing of it until things from his dream start coming true. It quickly becomes clear to Blake that his dream, still clear in his memory, was more than just a dream. Using what he learned in the dream life, Blake sets his sights on correcting the wrongs and creating a new future for himself. His first goal, to find a way to save his father, who was killed in a gang initiation gone wrong. Covering the fall of Blake's freshman year, Second Down is a story of friends, football, and finding a new path.
