Because he may make a sizable donation to the hospital, Carolyn reluctantly agrees to meet with tech mogul and eccentric billionaire Ivan Turing. Upon learning directly from Ivan that he has terminal cancer, she is surprised that he did not want to meet with her to "jump the medical queue", but rather to ask her to head a project on finding definitive evidence - proof - of what happens to a person after death, something that will happen to him soon. This project is something way off of Carolyn's radar as legitimate science. Her hard science perspective is however one of the key reasons why he chose her. His offer of control of his entire $10 billion estate, which she could funnel into Medics International, after his death is not enough to convince her. Possibly finding out what has happened to Will is not enough to convince her. Her own recent near death experience in Japan while working for Medics International following the tsunami is not enough to convince her. But something that Sophie is going through and the experience of one of her own patients in combination with these other factors are enough for her at least to look into one of the many cases on which Ivan has files, namely a young girl named Lilly Seavers who allegedly passed over to the other side briefly. She has drawn some pictures of people she met on the other side, family members she would never have met or known of in the living world. It is one person who has not been identified from Lilly's drawings that may pique some interest in Carolyn. Not wanting to divulge the nature of Ivan's offer to Charles or her family, Carolyn decides to enlist the help of young intern, Dr. Zedan Badawai, with who she has developed a "tell it like it is" rapport. What Carolyn decides to do concerning Ivan's offer may also depend on her encounter with Peter Van Owen, a medium who she knows she will encounter again and again if she does accept Ivan's offer, and the issue that some may choose death over life if they know what is on the other side.

Carolyn and Zed attend a past life regression therapy seminar presented by Dr. Daniel Powell, a medical school colleague of hers whose current work in which she does not believe. He presents as a case study an Iraq war veteran named Liam, whose PTSD Powell believes is not from his time fighting in Iraq but rather from a past life as a soldier named Tommy fighting in the Korean War trying to be saved by one of his fellow soldiers who ultimately got shot in the back. Regardless of what he is facing, Liam just wants his emotional pain to go away. Following the seminar, another man named Ryder Newburn accuses Liam of stealing the Korea story from his soon to be published graphic novel, the story almost exactly as in the book down to the names and places. Seeing his past life more clearly in his regression visions, Liam is able to see Ryder as that other soldier in Korea, the one who tried to save him. In speaking to Ryder, Daniel and Carolyn learn that he, a pacifist, is currently suffering from these similar visions, what he sees in his dreams. They have to convince Ryder that they at least have to try to help him emotionally by finding out if he was indeed that soldier in a past life. In the process, they have to try and figure out what accounts for some major POV differences between Liam and Ryder's stories. Meanwhile, based on Sophie's suggestion they bring in an exchange student as a boarder, Carolyn contemplates doing the long put off task of cleaning Will's bedroom. Something she goes through with Daniel helps Carolyn decide what to do with this matter. And upon meeting up unexpectedly with a friend from Kenya, Zed begins to see a divergence in what he wants for his future and what is expected of him.
