When

Jack, who has forsaken all for the pursuit of money, becomes involved in a

grocery store holdup, everything changes. He awakens the next morning, on a

snowy Christmas day, lying in bed next to a wife--Kate, the college sweetheart

he dumped when his career ambi2ons took hold--whom he never married,

and in a house with two kids he never had. Now living in New Jersey in an

alternate suburban universe, he has a chance to see how his life would have

turned out had he married Kate and raised a family. Jack soon begins to feel

strangely comfortable in the new role of loving husband and father, finding

himself happy in the life he would have led had he made different choices as a

young man. (2 hrs 6 min)
