More DescriptionMichael Steeb is an aimless twenty-one-year-old pot farmer living a day-to-day existence in an unfurnished farmhouse in central California in the 1980's. He has no real plan or interest until the day he connects with the memories of a lilfe that seems to belong to someone else, that of an American soldier killed in World War II. Seeking answers on the Ouija board, he finds Walter, the spirit of the young soldier, only to come to understand that Walter is an earlier incarnation of himself. Michael sets out to find Andrew, Walter's best friend, and Mary Ann, the fiancée Walter left behind. He finds them married to each other and much the same as they were forty years before. Mary Ann recognizes Walter in Michael, but Andrew is close-minded and sets out to prove that Michael is the worst sort of con man.
