It's the start of a new century, and the beginning of a new world for ANNETTE (45) following the fatal car crash of her son, TIM (17). Immediately, curious, whispered prompts from unseen messengers urge her to 'remember' ... but remember what? Intrigued by tantalising glimpses of her son in his otherworldly afterlife, she rejects fellow New Zealander's limited ideas around grief and death and follows her newly discovered love for sailing the South Pacific islands. Grief-stricken for her brother, LAURA (16) does not share her mother's spiritual awakening, her own escape is through drugs. Irrationally driven to reinvent herself as an adventuress named 'CORKY,' her love of salty air and a series of serendipitous encounters brings her face to face with her protoganist, MANNY (50). Their dramatic on-off-on relationship aboard the yacht, Kaleidoscope, is not for the faint hearted. Manny relentlessly challenges Annette's inauthenticity and acquired self-beliefs of identity. During their six years, he never calls her Corky. Tension builds until Corky's mental rigging over-tightens. Finally dismasted, she enters the dark night of the soul. Verging on collapse she returns to familiar ashore life and Laura, whose healing now unfolds through motherhood. But Annette no longer fits in, such is her enormous inner change. Only one thing remains constant - the pain in her heart. Returning to the wisdom of ascended masters, Annette at last heals her emotional wounds, allowing physical and spiritual worlds to overlap as she resumes her relationship with Tim - one that transcends time and space. Unravelling threads of previous incarnations she discovers there is no death - only the death of her limited beliefs. Now working with Tim as a messeneger for Spirit, a collective of souls arrive as an orb of shimmering blue light, asking her to voice their spiritual perspective of suicide. We hear the touching story of Floyd, a teen friend of her children who had taken his life shortly before Tim's accident. Under the wings of her son, Annette perceives the noble journey of grief, the piercing of the heart, as an unexploited opportunity for humanity to expand their consciousness into unconditional love. A decade has passed and, now known as Katoosh, Tim shares his transition with his mother, emphasising "My life was not cut short. There are no endings, I am the ever being of life."
