The most terrifying prison is the one you walk into willingly. David (James Michael Tyler) is a man haunted by grief and guilt. In a final attempt at peace, he enrolls in "The Clinic," a sleek, cutting-edge facility that promises to erase traumatic memories through an experimental procedure called "Processing."

Under the care of the calm yet inscrutable Dr. Aris (Hana Mae Lee), David begins the treatment. But as the machine delves deeper, it doesn't just erase memories—it exposes them. And something else is watching from the shadows of his own mind. The process awakens a monstrous, fragmented echo of his past, a manifestation of his guilt that is now breaking free, intent on making him relive his worst moment... forever.

To survive, David must do the impossible: escape a labyrinth built from his own memories, where every corner holds a horror he tried to forget.
