Scientist Cooper used science to prove that there is an "afterlife", which caused thousands of people to commit suicide. Out of fear of social condemnation, Dr. Cooper lived in seclusion on an island and set up an "experimental almshouse" to help those who wanted to commit suicide. Cooper's son Will Stevenson, who has always resisted his father's research, feels that the "Experimental Relief Institute" is simply a cult.
On a cruise ship, Will Stevenson meets the girl Ella. When he came to the almshouse built by his father on the island, Will Stevenson saw Ella trying to commit suicide by sinking into the sea. After rescuing Ella, in order to prevent her from committing suicide, Will Stevenson sent her to his father's shelter.
But soon, Will Stevenson finds himself in a state of near-death, trapped in a repeating cycle of meeting Ella and saving her. In the end, with Ella being shot, Will Stevenson, inspired by his father, desperate to go to the "afterlife" - a world where Ella is safe and sound, emulates his father and self-experiments to death by shock. Unexpectedly, Will Stevenson found out that when he met Ella on the cruise before, he did not follow her to disembark. Ella jumped into the sea and committed suicide the next day; The space cycle created in the "dying" state saves her time and time again.
In the end, Will Stevenson found out the real reason for Ella's suicide, rescued her son who was nearly killed on the beach, and made Ella completely free from suicidal thoughts... - A member of the Lover's Perfection...

The Discovery quotes

  • Will: I think it's our instinct to search for meaning, and when there is none we create meaning and we lie, we just lie to ourselves.
