resurrection story
Tale of return
A resurrection story is a narrative in which something believed dead or finished returns to life or prominence.
The term derives from religious accounts of rising from the dead, especially Christ's resurrection, but applies broadly to comebacks: a failed company's revival, a disgraced politician's return, an athlete's recovery from career-ending injury.
