   Summary

   When Pete McVries gets one cosmic do-over, a choice to redo the Walk and save Ray, he doesn’t hesitate. The muscle pain, torn-up feet, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, nausea, and finally a bullet — he’ll go through it all again to get five more days with Ray, and to make sure it’s Ray who makes it out alive.

   When it turns out that this is not just a one-time do-over but a time loop, he doesn’t quite know what comes next.

   Or: Can a highway in Maine, like Hill House or the Overlook Hotel, be born bad?
