For all his life, the gods had been subtly guiding the development of Saotome Ranma so that he could defeat Saffron when the time came. Unfortunately, even gods aren't always perfect as is proven in one time stream when in China (before the series starts) a tiger causes Ranma to go deeper into the Neko-Ken than ever before, his mind completely snapping. To take his place and control his body while the gods work to repair his mind, they find another Ranma.
Only problem is that they got the wrong Ranma.
His real name is Jake Hogan, nicknamed Ranma by his friends due to several things he shares in common with the anime/manga character - things like a tomboyish girlfriend, a love of the martial arts and a near-bottomless stomach at times. Now stuck in the body of the character Ranma, Jake has to live Ranma's life until the gods can get things fixed and maybe, while he's at it, use his knowledge of the series to get the pig-tailed martial artist out of a few problems.
(My answer to all the "Ranma dies and returns to the day he arrived at the Tendo Dojo to relieve the events of his life with full knowledge of what will happen so that he can fix everything" fics that are out there...)
