Synopsis

Former war correspondent Jason Frey struggles to reconnect with ordinary life as he prepares for fatherhood. A social visit turns dark when celebrity hypnotist Timothy Bevan invites guests to explore their “past lives.” Jason, dismissive at first, is subjected to hypnosis and suddenly finds himself inside the mind of a brutal murderer. Gripped by the violent clarity of the experience, Jason returns to Bevan to dig deeper rather than dismiss what he has seen. Their journey reveals a series of memories tied to a real, unsolved serial murder that took place the year Jason was born. Retired journalist Elliot Reed helps Jason piece together the archival trail - but when evidence points toward Sebastian Crane, a respected academic, the logic becomes impossible. If Crane is Jason’s past self, then Jason shouldn’t exist. As Jason’s confidence unravels and the danger increases, he and Clara are pulled into a quest for truth that blurs memory, identity, and reality itself. When Bevan is murdered, Jason faces the horrifying possibility that what he unearthed may not be mere recollection but something deadly real.
