    Mar 23 2023
    At the bank, Jen discovers that her brother left her the key to a car that she never knew he owned. He also left her some odd numbers that she discovers are GPS coordinates for an address in the town of Rockford, Illinois, a place she has never been - but where she and her brother were told that their mother (now deceased) was born. So she decides to take her brother's car and drive to the address. Along the way, she listens to the first of his six recordings, in which he goes into his obsession for certain "Solfeggio" frequencies and their corresponding chakras. Jen thinks this is another manifestation of his madness but she dives in, believing this may help her better understand him and why he took his life. After driving for a day and arriving at the address in Rockford, Jen finds an abandoned house that she believes may have been where her mother was born. She enters the house and finds a dead body. After calling the police, she speaks with a neighbor who knew the home's previous owner, a man named Frank who Jen believes may have in reality been her brother M. But when she continues listening to his voice memo, her brother reveals that he had a twin, Frank, that he never told her about.

Story had potential but just went nowhere

I was bothered from the beginning by the very unbelievable performances, but kept going because I'd the enticing plot

Unfortunately, the plot went nowhere, there was zero character development, and plenty of plot holes

Vague references to sounds and tones, Scientology and Cults without any explanation.

Would not recommend
