In "Second Chance," Michael Mace awakens in a makeshift morgue, granted a second life and extraordinary abilities after a tragic event claims the lives of everyone at his research facility, including his best friend, Shelby Shrewsberry. Determined to honor Shelby's memory, Michael uses his newfound ghost-like abilities to protect Nina Dozier and her son, John, whom Shelby deeply admired.

However, Michael's actions draw the ire of John's father, a dangerous member of a Los Angeles street gang. As tensions escalate, a ruthless assassin from the Internal Security Agency, Durand Calaphas, poses an even greater threat. Calaphas will stop at nothing to eliminate Michael, ensuring he does not escape death twice.

"Second Chance" is a gripping tale of redemption, sacrifice, and the enduring power of friendship, as Michael battles against formidable adversaries to protect those he loves and ensure that hope prevails against the odds.
