Storyline
At a tabletop role-playing game night, Skye brings her new boyfriend, Phil, into the tight-knit friend group she has played with for years. When Phil mysteriously vanishes, everyone insists he was never there, and every trace of him disappears from their phones and memories. As the remaining players are erased one by one, Skye realizes the strange wooden figure Phil brought to the game is connected to a creature that feeds on memory. By the time she understands what is happening, she is the only person left who remembers her friends ever existed.
