About this listen

If there truly is life after death, he was going to find out. Before he suddenly passed away, world-famous magician and showman Harry Houdini vowed that he would find the truth and prove it to the world. Rhonda Bennett works at an old folk's home. A new arrival, a Mister Paul Dresser, is suffering from dementia with the onset of Alzheimer's. He is just another resident. A kind, but very sick old man at the end of his life. He claims to be the man who knows the truth. Not just about Houdini, but about his promise of returning from the afterlife. Rhonda doesn't believe him. Who in their right mind would...but there's something strange about that man. He is someone who holds a secret. It is unlike any secret kept by anyone she has ever known. There is a look in his eyes.

A look she has seen before.
