Plot

After being assigned to investigate the aftermath of a catastrophic plane crash, an NTSB black box analyst uncovers chilling audio anomalies that no one else seems willing to acknowledge. As he digs deeper for the truth, he provokes powerful forces determined to silence him before he exposes a shocking conspiracy.

Sinekatalog’s take

A tidy, paranoid thriller that turns audio analysis into a source of suspense. The sound design is excellent and the investigation builds with sober intelligence. A smart pick for viewers who enjoy conspiracy stories with a technical edge.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
