Faith Awakened (2007)
Faith Awakened is set in Ireland of the future and explores questions of reality and virtual reality in a spiritual sense.
AHave you ever wondered if your life is designed? Coincidences, deja vu, fate, God, what does it all mean? Have you ever wished you could go back and do things differently?
If you could design your own virtual world to live in, what would it look like?
A computer technician gets more than she bargains for when she plunges herself and her companions into virtual-reality cryogenic stasis to escape a raging virus.

A group of my friends extended an open invite to join them in getting out of town over New Year's. I jumped at the prospect, since the weather was fantastic and the city offered only humidity and an enormous fireworks display. It would be cooler down...
