Synopsis

Henri, a lifelong skeptic, drinks a corner-store sleep drink and wakes in Obernia — the world meant to greet him at the end of his life. Welcomed decades early, he returns night after night as his life on Earth falls apart. When the door stops opening, the mysterious Meridian Institute offers a way back — for a price he sees through too late. One final crossing remains: to warn the world he loves, and give it up forever.
