Tech magnate Darren Vance faces the trial of a lifetime-accused of orchestrating a massive data breach that violated global privacy protocols. The media swarms. Protesters chant. And yet, nothing about the courtroom feels real. Witnesses vanish. Testimonies contradict. And the judge speaks like he's reading from a rehearsed script.

Watching from the gallery is Nina Locke, an investigative podcaster who senses the official narrative isn't just flawed-it's manufactured. The deeper she digs, the stranger things get: footage disappears, familiar faces shift identities, and her own past begins to twist in unfamiliar directions. When she's suddenly called to the stand, Nina must confront a deeper truth-one that ties her to the defendant in ways neither of them fully recall.

As the courtroom spirals into something between simulation and theater, Nina and Darren begin to unravel a shared history buried beneath engineered memories and recursive trials. With the walls of reality closing in, they're forced to make a final choice: confess to a crime neither fully remembers-or destroy the system holding them hostage.

In a story where perception bends and guilt can be scripted, one question remains:

If the trial was designed to feel real... what else have they forgotten?
