A podcast host known for airing anonymous confessions becomes the center of her own nightmare when a caller turns her show into something far more dangerous.

Marvin Statler has lived above the lamp repair he owns for nearly all of his adult life – not even setting foot in the outside world in over 15 years. Suddenly forced to deal with delinquent taxes, and the possibility of having to sell his shop, he is confronted with the ghosts of his past when a family member enters his life (but is he who is says he is?). With the help of old flame Darlene and potential buyers of his shop, Marvin faces his past demons and begins his ‘second chance’ at life.

Stam, a not so smart cop, must figure out if a random assault on a young woman, Vivian, is connected to a killer stalking Pittsburgh and removing victims' brains. And why is Viv losing her smarts while becoming aggressive and violent?
