Jesse Cox, radio producer who unearthed his grandparents’ mysterious Piddingtons; Molly Webster, producer who probes the chrysalis transformation; Patrick Purden, anesthesiologist studying brain activity under anesthesia; Tim Howard, producer who narrates the anesthesia and magic strands. They trace disappearing consciousness, a liquefied metamorphosis that keeps memory, and a decades‑old radio telepathy mystery. Each story stays delightfully unknowable.
