A video archivist takes a remote job restoring a stack of damaged tapes from a 1994 apartment fire. As Dan pieces the footage back together, he follows documentary filmmaker Melody Pendras into the Visser, a New York building where disappearances, strange rituals, and an unsettling group of tenants suggest the fire was only part of the story. The more he watches, the more the tapes seem to watch back, and the isolation of his worksite starts to feel tied to whatever Melody uncovered decades earlier. Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi anchor two timelines that begin to bleed into each other as Dan races to learn what happened before the same forces close in on him.
