The Shrouds

Four years prior to the main events, Karsh's wife, Becca, succumbs to cancer, profoundly impacting his life. This loss drives him to develop a groundbreaking technology aimed at changing how people remember their loved ones.

In his quest to stay connected with Becca, Karsh invents 'GraveTech', an innovative tombstone that allows the deceased to be viewed in a live, interactive 3D format. This invention is rooted in his desire to be buried alongside Becca when his time comes.

Despite his inability to find new love, Karsh maintains a close friendship with Terry, Becca's identical twin sister. Their bond remains a source of comfort for Karsh as he navigates life post-Becca.

Several tombstones, including Becca's, in the GraveTech cemetery are vandalized, creating chaos amid the burgeoning technology. The incident raises concerns about the security of the revolutionary product Karsh developed.

Karsh discovers that hackers have compromised GraveTech's network, making the live images from the shrouds inaccessible. Maury, Terry's ex-husband and the tech mastermind behind GraveTech, identifies the hack's origin as Iceland.

While managing the crisis surrounding GraveTech, Karsh begins an affair with Soo-Min, the blind wife of a CEO. Their relationship complicates his feelings and further entangles him in the events surrounding Becca's legacy.

Karsh’s relationship with Terry evolves into a sexual one, fueled by her intrigue surrounding his affair with Soo-Min. This development complicates their friendship and adds layers of emotional conflict to Karsh's already troubled psyche.

As investigations continue, it becomes clear that the hack did not originate from Iceland, revealing deeper conspiracies. Maury discovers that the destroyed tombstones have been tampered with, suggesting an internal sabotage.

Terry captures a video revealing Maury’s deteriorating mental state and jealousy over Karsh's relationship with her. The video suggests Maury believes he controls Hunny, the virtual assistant in Becca’s image, indicating his troubling involvement.

Karsh meets Maury in the woods, where Maury reveals the gruesome evidence of his finger injuries. He claims involvement with Russian hackers, who tortured him for information, showcasing the lengths some are willing to go in the technology world's dark underbelly.

Karsh is informed by a doctor examining Becca's remains that the protrusions found on her body are artificial. This shocking revelation forces Karsh to confront the realities of death and memory within the GraveTech context.

Karsh discovers the remains of Dr. Jerry Eckler, Becca's ex-lover, buried in his future grave spot. This grim finding asks many questions about the circumstances surrounding Eckler's death and his connection to the events at GraveTech.

As Terry theorizes about Eckler's death, Karsh pretends to take pride in the idea of having a killer removed from Becca's life. This brings forth unsettling feelings of arousal in Terry, showcasing their complicated emotional landscape.

Believing he has freed Becca from her past, Karsh chooses to leave with Soo-Min to Budapest, symbolizing a fresh start. As they kiss, he experiences a surreal moment when Soo-Min appears to him as Becca, signifying his unresolved grief.

Soo-Min, taking on Becca’s persona, offers to be buried with Karsh in Budapest, highlighting the extension of his unresolved ties to Becca. This uncanny moment cements Karsh's acceptance of a new love while still grappling with the remnants of his past.
