Echoes is a heart-wrenching exploration of loss, redemption, and the perilous allure of lingering in our darkest moments.
Jason Marks, in the wake of unspeakable loss, finds that he’s spiraling into despair. After the tragic death of Judith, his daughter, and the collapse of both his career and marriage, he seeks solace in the bottom of a bottle, lost in the shadows of his grief. However, it all changes once he meets Elena, a woman with an impossible gift; she’s able to channel the voices of the dead.
Jason, desperate yet skeptical, agrees to record these supernatural conversations for Echoes, his struggling podcast. At the same time, interviewing the spirits of iconic figures like Kurt Cobain, Vincent van Gogh, Sylvia Plath, and Robin Williams, his podcast skyrockets in popularity. However, with every conversation, the voices get more intense and more demanding, and the lines between haunting and healing start to blur.
Once Elena reveals that these spirits have turned their attention to Jason’s deceased daughter, Judith, he has to face the devastating decision between surrendering to the seductive pull of grief or finding the courage to reconnect with the living.
