Synopsis/Details
Tormented by grief, journalist Alex Carter spirals into obsession after uncovering inconsistencies in the obituary of businessman Evan Calloway. His investigation reveals a chilling pattern: individuals with fabricated pasts—gaps in birth records, missing family ties, and hollow histories. As Alex digs deeper, he encounters Margaret Hayes, Daniel Reeves, and Sarah Lin, each with elusive backgrounds that fuel his paranoia. Cryptic clues like “Echo” and “Project Spectrum” point to a shadowy network, possibly tied to the enigmatic Veritas Group and Dr. Elias Thorne. Pursued by menacing figures and betrayed by those he trusts, including his friend Julie, Alex’s reality unravels. Anonymous threats, a ransacked apartment, and a hospital confinement blur the line between truth and delusion. Guided by a mysterious figure, Alex escapes, only to face a devastating revelation: his pursuit may be a construct of his fractured mind, shaped by the loss of his beloved Emily. As he grapples with what’s real, Alex’s relentless quest for answers risks his sanity and life, forcing him to confront a chilling question: is he exposing a grand conspiracy or chasing ghosts born of his own pain?
