At Mercy General Hospital, psychologist Joanna Lander has spent years recording testimonies from people who have been clinically dead and returned. When neurologist Dr. Richard Wright proposes a study that synthesizes the near‑death experience with a psychoactive drug, Lander sees an opportunity to explore the phenomenon she has spent her career studying. As she becomes the study’s next subject, the imagined and the unknown become dangerously intertwined, pulling her deeper into a reality that feels eerily familiar yet profoundly frightening.
