SYNOPSIS

Karl is a software administrator at a company which provides a virtual afterlife for the deceased. In the process of uploading a young woman named Rachel to this digital heaven, his office has a power outage. As the office powers back up, Rachel awakes in a forest, bewildered. People begin to appear around her who claim to be her mother, her father and her daughter - but these claims only confuse, frustrate and upset Rachel. Karl, now monitoring Rachel’s reactions, realises what has happened. The power outage meant that Rachel made it to the afterlife - but her memories didn’t. To make matters worse, in the eyes the software, someone who has no memories of life does not belong in heaven. They are a fault that must be dealt with. As a result, Karl must help Rachel remember who she is, before it’s too late. And thus Rachel is thrust into a race against time, with existential questions that need to be answered. How can she already have a daughter? Why did she die so young? Most importantly, can she remember who she is before the software renders her a threat? Can she be saved from heaven?
