Synopsis

Miriam, a geneticist, is on the verge of a scientific breakthrough that could alter humanity and transform our understanding of death. As her research and family become intertwined, every relationship in her life, including her relationship with God, is pushed to the breaking point. Superstition, science, and spirituality intertwine as a family wrestles with what "return" matters most.

Characters

MIRIAM STEIN, 40, F. Ashkenazi Jewish. Perfectionist. Wound so tight she just might snap. A researcher who has lost faith in everything but science. Wants to do the right thing; can’t.
