Rerun Paul E Bernstein MD

Eight-year-old Mike Rockwell's world no longer makes sense. His father is gone, his friends tease him for being fat, and the TV show he just watched comes "true." Too much TV, his mother says. Forty years later Mike, the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the LA County Burn Unit, is successful and happily married until his wife and daughter die in a car crash. Mike drops out and moves to Lake Havasu, Arizona, where he spends his time revering the past and fixing antique TV's. An odd coincidence awakens Mike's childhood memories. The same episodes of Father Knows Best that had come true forty years ago, are coming true once again. As this cryptic message becomes increasingly hard to ignore, Mike is convinced that a massive solar storm followed by a colossal coronal mass ejection of plasma will knock out all modern communication, satellites, and computer chips, hurling Earth back to the Brylcreem days of the 1950s. Old TV reruns can't predict what is about to happen as Mike comes face to face with the reality of his past and present.
