On Apple TV
A dark, psychologically fractured thriller about trauma and fractured reality, where a survivor's unstable perception becomes both the mystery and the subject.
Years after a brutal attack left her in a constantly shifting reality, Kirby Mazrachi learns that a recent murder is linked to her assault. She teams with veteran reporter Dan Velazquez to understand her ever-changing present—and confront her past.
