When Nora Seed finds herself there, she has the chance to explore alternate lives—pursuing different careers, mending past relationships, and fulfilling long-held dreams. As she journeys through these possibilities, Nora must confront whether any of these lives would make her happier and discover what gives life genuine meaning and makes it worth living.
