A mysterious old man gives Gib a device called an "unner," which allows the user to go back in time and undo mistakes. When his sister is hit by a truck, Gib employs the unner to prevent the accident from occurring. As Gib relives the previous day, he observes how every action has a consequence, an awareness that gives a thought-provoking philosophical edge to this accessible fantasy.
