Bobby Darling has a lot of catching up to do. He missed his youth, most of his friends, and some great parties. In fact, he spent the last 20 years in a persistent vegetative state. But Bobby's problems are just getting started. It seems Bobby is on a list of terminally ill patients who have outlived their life expectancies. The insurers who own the policies on these patients hope to nudge the process along a bit. If that isn't enough, Bobby's roommate Anthony has made it clear he wants to be more than just friends.

More than that...they must ask themselves: can we get Right Back Where We Started?
