Processing the Signal

A brilliant but haunted neuroscientist confronts a mysterious data pattern that blurs the line between memory and reality. When a routine brain-map project uncovers a series of inexplicable signals, she teams with a wary codebreaker to trace their origin. As the clues deepen, fragmented visions intrude on waking life, forcing her to question which memories belong to her and which belong to the machine interpreting them. With time slipping away, they navigate a labyrinth of simulations, ethics, and hidden agendas, discovering that the true danger may lie not in the data, but in the human impulse to control what we cannot fully understand.
