SYNC

The women decide to sync their minds for a chance to foster a new close friendship. Afterwards, Ayla notices some very disturbing behavior from Devin. As their relationship quickly grows toxic, and Ayla starts dreaming about Devin’s memories, Ayla realizes she has less than 72 hours to save herself from being permanently mentally dominated by a narcissist before the sync is officially complete.
