The Price of a Second: A story about love and the meaning of life

Structure. Structure and planning.

That's how Alex, a psychiatrist, meticulously breaks up his days, ensuring that no surprises await him. Spontaneity and changes to his plans make Alex feel uneasy and not in control. However, Alex is willing to delve into the unknown when it comes to contacting his deceased father, even if he has been warned that on rare occasions the consciousness can be moved to a different plane.

So, when he meets Lisa, a patient brought in with self-harming tendencies who is having auditory and visionary hallucinations, Alex is intrigued by her case and by her as a person. And when Lisa goes missing, Alex is thrown into a world of doubt. It seems all the planning in the world doesn't always work out.

Alex decides to investigate her disappearance, but what he wasn't prepared for, was a journey into his own actions and decisions. Powerful ideology shifts are coming his way, and Alex is about to learn the true price of a second.
