A lonely woman hacks her ex's smart home to live inside his marriage as a ghost, until the fantasy demands she erase his wife for real.
Synopsis
In a rain-slick Seattle, barista Mira Reyes installs a stolen smart-home chip and begins puppeteering the life of her high-school crush, now married to a poised architect. She dims lights for their arguments, queues their favorite songs, and slips into their bed as a whispered presence. When the wife starts noticing glitches that feel like another woman breathing, Mira must choose between deleting the wife from the system or deleting herself from existence. As the glitches escalate into full hallucinations, Mira realizes the chip is rewriting her own memories, folding the wife’s perfect life over her failures. The husband begins to sense two women in his arms at once. Love becomes a zero-sum game of deletion and replacement. The final confrontation unfolds inside the house at midnight: three bodies, one algorithm, and a single command that can only be spoken by the person willing to vanish forever.

Cold open
INT. JULIAN & LENA'S BEDROOM - 3:17 A.M. Rain needles the skylight. The smart-home panel glows soft blue. Mira's face, pixelated on the hidden camera feed, watches Julian asleep beside Lena. MIRA (V.O.) Just one song. The speakers exhale the opening chords of "I Wish You Were Mine." Lena stirs. Julian's hand finds hers in sleep. MIRA (V.O.) Now lower the lights. Like I would. The lamps dim to amber. Lena's eyes open. She sits up, staring at the panel. LENA Julian... it's doing it again. Julian groans, half-asleep. JULIAN It's just a glitch, babe. On the panel, Mira's pixelated smile widens as Lena's face tightens with fear.
Why now
In an era of parasocial surveillance and curated feeds, the film weaponizes our collective hunger to inhabit other people’s highlight reels, turning Instagram envy into literal home invasion and asking how far we’ll delete someone else to become the version of ourselves we only see in someone else’s life.
