When sixteen-year-old Maya's voice shatters every window in her house during an argument about curfew, her mother Dr. Diana Martinez faces an impossible challenge: how do you help your daughter when her emotions can become sonic weapons? As a former MIT sound wave researcher, Diana transforms their basement into a makeshift lab, desperately searching for ways to help Maya control her "acoustic emotional resonance." But when a cruel joke at school leads to a classmate's injury, Maya must confront the true potential of her power - not just for destruction, but for healing.
Across the city, Jack Dale discovers his ability to experience memories stored in objects during his grandmother's funeral. One touch of her favorite brooch reveals her secret life as a CIA operative in 1975 Saigon. Now working as a historical authenticator, Jack finds himself navigating the moral complexities of memory absorption. Every object tells a story, from Civil War watches hiding tales of treason to Holocaust artifacts bearing witness to humanity's darkest moments. But when a wealthy client asks him to authenticate a family heirloom, Jack uncovers a web of secrets that some would kill to keep buried.
As Maya learns to shape sound into symphony and Jack bears witness to history's untold stories, both discover that their powers aren't just abilities - they're responsibilities. Some gifts come with a price, but also with the potential for profound change.
