On the eve of his 30th birthday, William Fischer is forced to reevaluate himself following a near death experience. His attempts at returning to life as he knew it are obstructed by a psychic awakening beyond comprehension. Reality crumbles as he journeys further into the depths of his consciousness, nearing a truth that suggests meaning. His growing disconnect from those around him is accentuated by the deterioration of his marriage and the impulse to return to nature.A sensory experience that is both immersive and deeply felt, EMPYREAN is a haunting meditation on the intersection of time, space, and memory. In the vein of introspective genre fare such as UPSTREAM COLOR, SOLARIS and DON'T LOOK NOW, EMPYREAN is a poignant account of disparate individuals seeking out meaning and redemption, as well as a reverent bow to the unknowable.
