Storyline

When the unexpected happens, architect Jonathan Rivers has become a grieving widower, wallowing in deep confusion over the death of his wife. But a paranormal expert approaches Jonathan with the unlikely: the ability to hear his wife from beyond the grave. Through a form of unusual communication known as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), Jonathan will finally be able to see his wife. But in doing so, Jonathan has drawn himself into a much more complex situation when his curiosity becomes an obsession. Only that obsession will have him confront those not of this world, and some of them don't approve of Jonathan's interference with their destructive nature. Written by mystic80

Crazy Credits

"Nobody knows whether our personalities pass on to another existence or
sphere, but if we can evolve an instrument so delicate to be manipulated by
our personality as it survives in the next life such an instrument ought to
record something..." Thomas Edison 1928
E.V.P.; (Electronic Voice Phenomenon)
The recording of voices and images of the dead, using de-tuned receiving
apparatus.
Identified in 1939, and now the subject of increasing scientific research
worldwide, to finally evidence communication with the deceased. See more »
