Synopsis

Stitch Lowrey had it good. He had a secure job. He was married to his high school sweetheart. They had three angelic children and lived a safe, comfortable suburban life. Stitch should have been happy.But he wasn’t.Like millions of men approaching middle age, Stitch couldn’t leave well enough alone. With a sin here, an indiscretion there, pushing limits and tempting fate, he soon found himself in a very desperate situation.Bob’s Your Uncle is the story of a man who seeks redemption by making a deal with the devil. In the tradition of the film It’s A Wonderful Life and the musical Damn Yankees, Bob’s Your Uncle is a re-telling of the classic Faust story, with a time travel twist and a modern literary flavor. It is Baltimore in the spring of 1999. After committing suicide, Stitch is given a chance to re-live his life by the devil’s minion, blues pianist Memphis Slim. Stitch takes the offer and goes back in time to 1978, where as a seventeen-year-old, with the wits and memories of a man twice that age, he attempts to change his fate using his sports knowledge to unfair advantage in illegal gambling. Along the way, he befriends Keith Richards and finds himself in the middle of the Iran-Contra scandal. Sadly, the second time around is even worse for Stitch. The story ends with him a broken man on the verge of losing his soul to the devil.Will the devil get his due?Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, Bob’s Your Uncle makes the journey worthy of the destination.
