Five Minutes on the Low Road

A woman’s near-death experience shatters her marriage, her career, and everything she thought she knew about reality. Five Minutes on the Low Road explores what happens when someone returns from clinical death with radically reset priorities, and certainty that consciousness survives — to a world that isn’t ready to hear her.
