Larry confides his regrets to Mike, who offers him a drink that changes everything. Miraculously, Larry wakes up in an alternate reality where he made the game-winning hit, fundamentally altering the course of his life. In this new reality, Larry finds himself as a corporate success with immense wealth, a luxurious home, and married to the company's owner's daughter.
Initially exhilarated by his newfound success, Larry soon realizes that his perfect life is not without its own complications. Despite the perks and comforts, he begins to miss key aspects of his former life and relationships he once took for granted. As he navigates through the challenges of his new reality, Larry starts to understand the true meaning of happiness and fulfillment.
