River of Thine

Ethan, a 41-year-old married man and father of a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, is launched into an implausible, yet real situation where everyone thinks he's dead. Though he's not. He has a high-stakes decision to make and an opportunity to embrace: Does he stay in a life haunted by events from the past or does he go on to a new life of hope and possibility? These questions are answered over several days of far-reaching self-reflection: times of danger and moments of contentment, flashbacks framed by broken promises and flash-forwards hinting at dreams yet unfulfilled, life-changing chances just barely missed, and wisdom delivered from the most unexpected sources. All these elements—shaped by a guide Ethan comes to meet and anchored by the ethereal bond she and Ethan share—lead him to a discovery: what it means to truly be alive.
