Forget everything you know about haunted recordings. When Maya discovers a box of her late sister Mary's belongings, she finds a cryptic mixtape labeled "For When You Miss Me." Pressing play, she hears Mary's voice, sharing whispered secrets and forgotten memories—a bittersweet echo of the past. But as the tape continues, the recordings shift. They are no longer memories from before Mary's death, but chilling audio diaries from after.

Each track reveals a new, horrifying truth about the "quiet peace" Mary found, accompanied by faint, unsettling sounds of something moving in the background of the static. Maya soon realizes this mixtape isn't a farewell gift. It's a beacon, a set of sonic instructions. And the final track isn't meant to be listened to—it's meant to be answered.

00:00It's euphoric. Before listening, I could not fathom the existence of something so beautiful.
00:22If you're hearing this, that means you've experienced it too. Can you feel it?
00:28I'm not alone, am I? Although comforting, you must be cautious.
00:58I'm not alone.
01:00I'm not alone.
01:02I'm not alone.
01:05I'm not alone.
01:09I'm not alone.

01:43You're home later than usual.
01:46Uh, yeah, there was an accident.
01:49What?
01:50Did you hurt yourself?
01:51No, it wasn't me.
01:53Oh.
01:54Okay.
01:55Well, what happened?
01:57Um, someone just fell off their bike.
02:01Okay.
02:02Well, I hope they're okay.
02:04Hey, Mary, will you help me rehearse my presentation later?
02:08Yeah.
02:09Sure.
02:10Thanks.
02:11You know, if this pitch lands, your sister might finally get a raise, and then we can finally
02:14pay this rent on time.
02:16And then I was thinking that...
02:18Oh, my God.
02:19Whatever.
02:20Whatever.
02:21Whatever.
02:51I don't know.
03:21I don't know.
03:51I don't know.
04:04Hey, Mary.
04:07Mary.
04:08I've been waiting.
04:09Can you help with my presentation now?
04:11Taylor, what?
04:13I thought you said later.
04:14I just got back.
04:15Just got back?
04:16No, you've been home for two hours.
04:18I'm pitching this first thing in the morning, so are you going to help me or not?
04:28Mary?
04:28Mary?
04:46Okay.
04:46If the production increases by 20%, we would likely see a payoff of, well, we would likely see a payoff until, like, six to, oh, okay, I'm going to start again.
05:01If the production increases by 20%, we would likely see a payoff within, like, 16 months.
05:16Wish me luck.
05:31We really need this.
05:33I got my half of the rent.
05:36What?
05:37How'd you get that already?
05:40Um, I just picked up a few extra shapes.
05:46Yeah.
05:46All right.
05:47All right.
05:48All right.
05:50All right.
05:51All right.
05:53All right.
05:55All right.
06:25I don't know.
06:55I don't know.
07:25I don't know.
07:55I don't know.
07:59Mary?
08:01Mary, what are you doing?
08:03Tonight's top store, a 17-year-old girl, Lily Barfield, reported missing out of the Wilshire
08:08District community.
08:09Just checking on you.
08:10Police say the investigation is still ongoing, and the department has informed us that you
08:14should keep your kids at home.
08:53It's euphoric.
08:59Before listening, I could not fathom the existence of something so beautiful.
09:05If you're hearing this, that means you've experienced it too.
09:09Can you feel it?
09:11I'm not alone, am I?
09:15Although comforting, you must be cautious.
09:17There's immense danger alongside the pleasure.
09:26I thought it would end if I stopped listening to it, but I started to hear it even when it's
09:31not playing.
09:32I can't go more than a few hours without listening to it.
09:39Every time I hear it, I lose track of time.
09:43Or I black out.
09:45And it makes me tell you.
09:47Yeah.
09:47I'm not alone, I'm not alone.
10:03I love you.
10:05I love you.
11:09It's euphoric.
11:33Can you feel it?
11:41I'm not alone, am I?
11:47I...
11:49Okay, so...
11:53I thought that I had totally bombed it yesterday, but apparently not.
12:10You forgot the raise?
12:11I got the raise!
12:12Taylor, oh my god, that's great!
12:14I know, right?
12:15Oh my gosh!
12:16They even had a gift bag waiting for me at my desk.
12:19Hey, did you go somewhere last night?
12:22Because I thought I heard the door open.
12:25Uh...
12:26Yeah, I just couldn't see it.
12:30What is that?
12:32Um, I don't really know, but it was in the gift bag, so...
12:37What is that?
12:39I just didn't know.
12:41I've never seen it.
12:42I've never seen it before.
12:43I've never seen it before.
12:44I don't know.
12:45I'm not alone.
12:46I'm not alone.
