But fate has something else in mind when Gavin is killed on his way to reconciling with Mark. A recovering alcoholic, Gavin ends up in a bar where the mysterious Bartender lets him re-live three memories from his life to show the quality of his character. Gavin takes the offer and shows The Bartender love, heartbreak, and every intention to make things right. He soon finds, as always, fate has something else in mind.
