What begins as a Christmas gathering slowly unravels into something deeply unsettling. Beneath the warmth of shared memories and holiday traditions lingers the quiet absence of Michael, a friend whose name carries an uncomfortable weight. As conversation drifts toward his fixation on artificial intelligence, Tim’s composure begins to crack.

As suspicion and discomfort quietly take hold, sirens cut through the night and Tim vanishes without explanation, leaving the group and the evening itself changed.
