This emotional story of grasping at straws for lost loved ones is heart breaking and relatable. It leaves the audience to question how far technology has the capability to take our society. Will we ever truly be able to communicate with the deceased? Is it ethical to do so even it it could be possible? Is this too much power for the human race to carry? Most importantly, this play shows us that sometimes living in and for the past looses us what is right in front of us. It shows us what is really important in life.

Grief is impossible to pin down, but how do you tell that to two scientists who recently lost a child? In this beautiful, heartbreaking play, hope is both the cruelest and kindest force.

The dialogue is natural, showing characters at their best and their worst, and contains some fantastic, truthful monologues that are so relatable that they hurt.
