With all the information he possesses about future trends, world events, and politics, he makes a series of bets on sports and becomes rich, allowing him to live his new life wealthier than in his past life. He marries a new woman, has a daughter, founds an investment company, and then dies at 43 from a heart attack, only to wake up again as an 18-year-old one more time. These replays of his life happen several times, and each time is slightly different. One day, he discovers another replayer. In one of his replays, he notices a movie that he has never seen in any of his previous replays. This film, called “Star Sea,” is probably the best movie ever made. It was released a year before “Jaws” in 1964 and is directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by George Lucas, and written by Pamela Phillips. This movie is about extraterrestrial contact between aliens and dolphins on Earth and how there is a cosmic connection between species in the universe.
Jeff has, of course, heard about Lucas and Spielberg, but Pamela Phillips is a name totally new to him. Curious to know who she is, he travels to Los Angeles and meets her. As it turns out, Pamela is also a replayer, and the same thing is happening to her. They get to know each other, fall in love, and remain together for several lives. Suspecting there might be other replayers out there, they start posting ads in newspapers that only a true replayer could understand, and they manage to contact another replayer who is actually a serial killer. Quite disappointed by their bad luck, they decide to go public, disclosing their condition to the press in the hope that they can reach the scientific community to help them understand what is happening to them.
Going public turns out to be a major problem for them because their predictions now have effects on whole societies. They manage to change major historical events and end up imprisoned by the U.S. government as the Department of State believes they pose a risk to national security. The replays occur over and over again, probably eight times, but each replay is shorter than the previous one. They notice their replays are being reduced, first by some minutes, then months, then years, and finally decades. In the end, they reach some sort of singularity in which they die and live almost simultaneously. Finally, after their last death, they wake up again, not in 1963 but in the present time. They decide to live what is left of their last life just by enjoying whatever comes.
