A grieving widow in a fog-choked coastal town deciphers eerie gray-and-black shadow waves that wave victims into oblivion before they erase her daughter forever.
Synopsis
In the misty hamlet of Greyhaven, residents vanish when spectral shadow waves ripple through the streets and deliver a silent 👋 farewell. Elena Voss, whose husband was the first to disappear, discovers the waves respond to unresolved emotions, manifesting as living heart emojis that pull people into an inky void. As the phenomenon accelerates, Elena teams with a skeptical oceanographer and her late husband's estranged brother to trace the source: a lighthouse broadcasting the waves like a signal of collective sorrow. Each wave erases not just bodies but every trace and memory of the vanished, forcing Elena to confront the lie she told her daughter about her father's death. Racing against a final massive wave predicted to swallow the town, Elena must broadcast her own truth through the signal to reverse the tide, or lose everything to the shadows forever.
The story
Elena watches her husband wave goodbye and vanish in the first shadow wave; the town dismisses it as mass hysteria while her daughter starts seeing gray hearts in the fog.
Allies join Elena at the lighthouse as waves intensify, erasing key witnesses and forcing confrontations with suppressed family secrets that fuel the phenomenon's power.
Elena transmits her raw confession through the signal, shattering the wave's source and pulling survivors back, but the final 👋 leaves her forever changed.

Cold open
INT. ELI'S LIGHTHOUSE BEDROOM - NIGHT Rain lashes the salt-caked windows. ELENA VOSS (30s), eyes raw, tucks LILY (8) into bed. The girl clutches a gray stuffed heart. LILY Daddy's wave is coming back, isn't it? ELENA No, baby. Just the tide. EXT. LIGHTHOUSE BALCONY - MOMENTS LATER Elena steps out. Fog rolls in thick and black. A low hum builds. Gray ripples form on the water, rising into a human-shaped wave. It raises a hand. 👋 ELENA (whispers) Eli... The wave crests toward the balcony. Her breath fogs. The shadow hand reaches. Lily screams from inside. Elena slams the door as the wave crashes, leaving only dripping gray residue and silence.
