During a birthday party in Berlin in 2013, a baby is born and dies before he can take his first breath.

During a birthday party in Berlin in 2013, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale. That baby becomes eight-year-old Jack Thornhill, a friendly and caring shopkeeper.

What if there were second chances? Third chances? Fourth chances? Would you eventually be able to save the world from stingy men who hurt each other? Would you even want to?

A Friendly, Caring Man follows Jack Thornhill and his considerate son, Clarke Cockle, as their carefree lives tumble through turbulent events in Philadelphia, again and again.

However, the end of the world approaches, and time is running out for Jack. He is left with two options: stop the stingy men in one hour, or allow the world to end in a ball of fire.
