About this listen

What if you could bring someone back from the dead? Not in spirit. Not in memory. But truly back.

Dr. Daniel North has spent his life chasing the impossible. After witnessing his brother’s death as a child, Daniel dedicates himself to unraveling the greatest mystery of all—what happens after we die? Through relentless research, secret experiments, and one forbidden breakthrough, he edges closer to a terrifying, beautiful truth: consciousness might not end with the body. But every discovery comes at a cost. As his obsession grows, so do the consequences, academic disgrace, ethical lines crossed, and a therapy mandate that leads him to Anna, a psychologist with her own quiet fractures. As their sessions unfold, a connection sparks that neither expected. One that might just change everything.

Told through intertwining perspectives, The Persistence Hypothesis is a haunting, heart-wrenching journey through grief, memory, and the reckless, relentless pursuit of love across the boundary of death.
