The students want to know how the patients felt, what they heard, and what they saw. They do this because they want to get as close to death as they can possibly get. Nelson, however, digs deeper and decides that the only way he can actually ind the answers to death, and what the experience is like, is to actually die. It is already uncanny for people to die and get revived, but dying on purpose for a few minutes makes it stranger. Nelson, Rachel, David, and Joe all take turns experimenting with the death, and the uncanny haunts them by making them relive certain events that they have individually repressed for most of their lives.
