When Michael moves into apartment 3B, something is already waiting for him. Not furniture. Not dust. A voice.

Old, steady, and far too familiar.

Some stories don’t introduce themselves. They just… resume.

A tape appears with Micheal's own birthday on the label. The voice is young. Friendly. Too friendly.

Michael swears he’s never heard it before. But the tape knows his name.

And it’s been waiting a long time.

Michael finds a tape from Janet, a former librarian.

Her obsession with mirrored feedback loops led her somewhere she couldn’t come back from. The walls started answering. Then the mirrors spoke.

The voice is older. Controlled. Scientific.

James Whitby believed 3B was a living archive—and he wanted to map its mind.

But Michael soon suspects Whitby wasn’t just recording. He was trying to train it.

A decade-old vlogger. A forgotten online series.

Michael uncovers fragments of Lena’s recordings, where her followers started hearing whispers she never said out loud.

Echoes, looping through likes and latency.

Michael discovers that the voices he’s heard—Janet, Lena, Callum, Ruth, James—weren’t echoes from the past.

They were speaking at the same time. In the same room. 3B isn’t a place in time. It’s a pattern.

And Michael’s final recording might be the first one that breaks it.

Michael wakes up in a space that feels... off. No bed. No windows. No memory of falling asleep. Then comes the voice. Warm. Friendly. Artificial. It knows his name. It has rules. It wants him to accept the terms. But Michael’s not here to cooperate. Not anymore. This isn’t just a room. It’s a system. And someone — or something — wants him to believe he still has a choice. Spoiler: it’s not much of a choice.

Michael wakes up on the floor. No bed. No clock. Just a voice—too cheerful—offering him a curated reel of memories he never asked for.

Some are true. Others are completely fabricated. And then there’s the voice on the tape… the one that says his name like she knows him. But Michael has never met her. At least, he doesn’t think he has.

As reality begins to fracture, Michael starts feeding false memories back into the system—just to ...

 Michael enters a hallway that loops endlessly — and every door leads back to himself. But not the self he remembers.

Inside, the reflections talk back. They argue. They accuse. One of them tells him a truth he can’t unhear: He was never the original.

To escape, Michael must break the one voice he still trusts — his own.

Michael enters a place that reflects more than just light — a corridor built from whispers, old recordings, and voices he doesn’t remember saying out loud. As fragments of himself echo from the walls, he discovers the system has been listening… and creating.

Across shadow files, unspoken edits, and unseen observers, Michael begins to question what was recorded — and what was rewritten.

Some voices are archived. Others were never me...

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
