Synopsis/Details
In a rural town overshadowed by loss and silence, people are vanishing. No signs. No clues. Just last whispers—tailored to the memories that hurt most. Murmurmen follows Henry, a guilt-ridden columnist haunted by a failed investigation, and Sarah, a newcomer chasing truth with fire and sarcasm. Together, they begin to suspect these disappearances aren't random, and they aren’t natural. Locals mention childhood myths—figures in the dark that speak in familiar voices—and a tech mogul living in floodlit isolation seems to know more than he’ll say. As shadowy forces pull strings behind fences and federal vehicles roll into town, Henry and Sarah realize the enemy isn’t just in the dark… it knows them. Murmurmen is an atmospheric psychological horror series rooted in small-town character drama, generational trauma, and the fragile border between memory and manipulation.
