Short description

Dylan’s wife Geneva has died. Only Dylan doesn’t believe it. Not because he believes in ghosts, but because he believes in science. Geneva, a physicist, believed that linear time was just a perception, one humans could overcome. If she was right, then Dylan can change his perceptions and if he does that, then Geneva will live again. He has nothing to lose, and Geneva to gain.
