Michael, a convicted criminal, agrees to take part in an experimental tech‑therapy program to shorten his sentence. Guided deep into the shadowed recesses of his mind, he must navigate a void where buried memories and long‑suppressed traumas resurface. Each step forces him to confront the truths he’s hidden from himself — the pain that has kept him chained to his past. To reclaim his present and shape his future, Michael must face the darkness within and decide if he’s ready to let it go.
