2. The Conversation

A young British tennis champion, Joleen Kenzie, is diagnosed with a rare terminal illness.

So she has herself cryogenically frozen at an experimental lab in Seattle, in the hope that one day - perhaps hundreds of years into the future - there will be a cure and she can be revived.

Joleen learns how the world fell apart and must escape captivity with the help of a convict and a blind boat captain.

Chilling medical thriller inspired by true events.
