Redo in '83

Jason spends decades building a life and dies at the end of it, having learned that his wife has been unfaithful for years, that the son he raised is not his, and that she pulled his oxygen line to get the estate. He opens his eyes on the morning of his wedding, forty years earlier, with the wedding band playing outside. He stands in front of the woman he is about to marry and listens to her parents add a television to a bride price that was already unreasonable. He does not haggle and he does not borrow. He calls the wedding off and walks out. He has thirty years of restaurant work in his head that nobody around him has seen yet. He starts with crawfish nobody eats, pulled out of drainage ditches, and turns them into something people queue for, then builds a produce business up from nothing, running into corrupt officials, competitors who play rough, and the in-laws he refused. Valerie Stratton, a radio broadcaster, is part of the new life.
