A sinister curator named Mr. Simms is summoned to a high-tech facility run by a businessman, Mr. Beach, to supply his expertise in creating an artificial intelligence for a new social control program. Simms begins to describe real-life horror tales intended to feed the AI’s database. The first story involves a racist white woman who is transported back in time to witness the true horrors of slavery and its consequences. In the second story, an abusive ex-cop, thought to be unfallible, encounters deadly repercussions when attempting to escape his dark past. The third tale centers on a fortune teller who manipulates her clients for her own gain until she unknowingly taps into something truly terrifying.

As Mr. Simms continues, each cautionary fable digs deeper into taboo issues such as racism, corruption, and the exploitation of power, reflecting on visceral elements of society that many choose to ignore. The stories within the narratives come with their unique twists and dire consequences that challenge both the characters within them and the viewers themselves. As each story unfolds, an underlying tension grows between Mr. Simms and Mr. Beach, teasing at a deeper moral underpinning of control, fear, and consequence. These chilling tales gather momentum and intensity as they inch towards their unsettling conclusion, laying bare the specter of past sins and the weight of justice, all before reaching a climax that suggests an eerie and profound revelation.
