After more than a century in limbo, Irish ruffian Liam O’Connor is dropped into an adult life in 21st-century Providence Falls where, in order to save his soul, he must convince his reincarnated true love, Cora, to marry someone other than himself. It appears that Liam had a long sleep, and Cora was reincarnated, but neither had real time travel.
