Unable to find what she considers proper work she's signed to produce episodes for a sensationalist "conspiracy" podcast channel but is struggling to come up with material and might lose that job too.
Out of the blue she receives an anonymous email about people who have received strange 'bricks' that have odd effects on their life. Looking into it reveals a decades long pattern she starts to investigate.
No good will come of this.
There's a pattern to some low budget movies which takes the form "hire a huge remote AirBnB" and have your cast go mad and/or die there". This is a great example of that breed and has essentially a cast of one with Lily Sullivan conducting phone interviews, putting podcast episodes together and getting increasingly unhinged.
It's great.
The story has a bit of "The Empty Man" or "We're all going to the World's Fair" about it: reality is broken and we're picking at the cracks.
Don't expect action or any resolution and it does a lot of very "on brand" things for this kind of story but Sullivan is great and Matt Vesely has turned a budget of tuppence into an engaging bit of weirdness: 8/10. A similar vibe to Moorhead and Benson before they took the Marvel shilling.
