Brilliant young scientist Jade Vitale holds the key to unlocking a breakthrough: she has developed a method to extract and visualize memories that flash before someone’s eyes as they’re dying. Her technology can only be brought to life by joining forces with the enigmatic, visionary researcher Dr. Remy Barlowe, a man with great power and resources. Jade immerses herself in his world and is intoxicated by the promise of power and knowledge that holds the potential to change the trajectory of human life, forever. When her own terminally-ill grandmother volunteers as their first human test subject, Jade agrees without question—a decision that estranges her completely from friends and family. The experiment is successful, and Jade is catapulted into a world of fame and enlightenment, giving her everything she ever wanted, Remy reminding her that “it’s not change if it was you all along.” When Jade begins to question Remy’s true intentions, she is left to reconcile her own identity and must face the consequences of the world they built together, alone. LIMINAL follows Jade’s journey as she finds out certain questions should not be answered…or even asked.
