INGRESS (2023)

Riley Carol is able to move between different parallel versions of her life. This was a thrilling adventure in her youth, but as she got older, she found herself getting lost between different lives, leading her ultimately to the brink of a mental breakdown. Riley was brought to see a progressive therapist who helped her piece together a carefully controlled “normal” life.

Daniel Cassanders has always heard voices. Diagnosed schizophrenic in high school, he was medicated through adolescence to help “normalize” him. In his mid twenties he made the decision to go off the meds and embrace the voices that had tormented him in his youth. Akin to famous channels Esther Hicks and Darryl Anka, Daniel begins to channel Lucas, an alien multi consciousness. Daniel develops a loyal following, and works with Lucas’s teachings to write his first book. As success blossoms, a nagging fear grows inside Daniel that Lucas is a figment of his imagination, and that his teachings are merely the wild ramblings of a crazy person …

Riley and Daniel’s paths intertwine when Riley’s husband Toby dies suddenly. As she finds her realities blurring again, she stumbles upon Daniel’s book and seeks him out, hoping that he can help her learn to control her reality once again. Because if she can learn to control it, then maybe she can find a reality where Toby is still alive.

As they embark together on a journey through multiple realities, Daniel and Riley uncover a bond that surprises them both. Daniel having sudden and visceral flashes of a life with Riley that feel like memories, and Riley beginning to wonder if the husband she is trying to find is actually the man she is meant to be with…
