To a therapist, an intrusive thought is a symptom. To a killer, it's an itinerary. Dr. Grace Voss thrives on control. As a Chicago psychologist, her life is strictly structured, and her online sessions on the encrypted teletherapy app, MindBridge, provide absolute anonymity. She knows how to manage the darkest corners of the human mind, until she connects with a patient named Vessel. During their first session, Vessel describes a vivid, terrifying scenario.
A woman murdered on the third floor of a specific West Loop parking garage. Grace diagnoses it as a dark fantasy. But the next morning, the news reports the exact same crime, down to the last hyper-specific detail. Vessel isn't confessing to the past. He is detailing his future crimes hours before they happen. And his next message shatters Grace's world reading "I liked your gray wool coat today".
Trapped in a suffocating digital cat-and-mouse game, Grace realizes the killer isn't just looking for an audience. He is performing exclusively for her. And in a space built on total anonymity, the most dangerous monster is the one who built the room.
