In 1989, 17-twelvemonth-old star athlete Mike O'Donnell'south girlfriend Scarlet Porter tells him that she is significant, just moments before his likely scholarship-clinching high school championship basketball game. Mike plays the first few seconds of the game, then walks off the court and goes subsequently Reddish, abandoning his hopes of going to higher and achieving a career that could support their future. Xx years later, 37-twelvemonth-sometime Mike finds his life stagnant and dull, abandoning whatever project he starts. Crimson, now his married woman and mother of their ii children, has filed for divorce, forcing him to movement in with his geeky, all the same extremely wealthy, best friend, Ned Gold. He has quit his chore after he is passed over for a promotion he believed he deserves, and his high school-age kids, 19-year-onetime Maggie and xvi-year-old Alex, want naught to exercise with him. Later, while driving, an run across on a bridge with a janitor transforms Mike back into his 17-yr-quondam self.
After convincing Ned of his identity, Ned believes that Mike'south transformation was acquired by a mystical spirit guide who is trying to steer him on a better path. Mike enrolls in high school posing as Marker Gold, Ned'due south son, and plans to get to college on a basketball scholarship. As he befriends his bullied son and discovers that his daughter has a young man, Stan, who does not respect her and often torments Alex, Mike comes to believe that his mission is to help them.
Through their kids, Mike spends time with Crimson, who notes his remarkable resemblance to her hubby, simply rationalizes it as an odd coincidence. Deciding to also try and set up his human relationship with Scarlet, Mike begins to finish (under the pretense of getting "volunteer credit") all of the garden projects he abandoned every bit an adult. He does his best to split up Stan and Maggie while too encouraging Alex to exist more than confident and so he tin make the basketball team and become out with a girl he has a beat on named Nicole. Mike has difficulty resisting his desire for Scarlet despite the relationship's clear inappropriateness. Ned, meanwhile, begins to pursue the schoolhouse's chief Jane Masterson through increasingly extravagant stunts in order to win her affections, which she adamantly rebukes, though she agrees to a date after he offers to purchase laptops for the school.
On their date, Jane is completely unimpressed with Ned until he drops the "sophisticated rich-guy" persona and admits he is really a geek. Jane then reveals her own enthusiasm for geek culture past speaking to him in Elvish, and the two striking it off. Mike throws a political party to gloat a basketball game game win at Ned's house while Ned is out with Jane, where he confronts Stan, who had recently dumped Maggie for non sleeping with him. Mike gets knocked out and wakes up to Maggie trying to seduce him. Mike tells his daughter that he is in love with someone else and Maggie leaves, much to Mike's relief. Scarlet arrives at the party worried nearly her kids attending, but Mike shows her that Alex has finally managed to get together with his beat. The two have an intimate conversation where Mike, caught up in the moment, tries to osculation her. Disgusted, she storms off as Mike tries unsuccessfully to explicate his truthful identity.
On the day of the court hearing to finalize Scarlet and Mike'due south divorce, Mike makes one concluding attempt to win her back (as Mark) by reading a supposed letter of the alphabet from Mike. He states that although he couldn't set things right in the kickoff of his life, it doesn't change the fact that he nevertheless loves her. After he exits, Scarlet notices that the "alphabetic character" is really the directions to the court and she begins to grow curious. As a event, she postpones the divorce by a month. Frustrated that he could not salvage his marriage, Mike decides to once once more pursue a scholarship and movement on with a new life. During a high school basketball game, Mike reveals himself to Ruby. As Blood-red runs away, Mike decides to chase her down, simply like he did in 1989, but not earlier handing the brawl off to his son. Mike is then transformed back into his 37-twelvemonth-old self, and happily reunites with Scarlet, saying that she was the all-time decision he always made.
As Mike prepares for his first solar day as the new coach at his kids' school, Ned, who has successfully started a relationship with Jane, gifts him a whistle, both happy with their new starts in life.
