Concert Young CCRMA trainee Cadence Starbing seeks help from the brilliant, sonically deranged Dr. Audible Lecturer to catch another serial sampler, "Buffer Bill," who strips his audio sources for a patch. Dr. Lecturer agrees to help only if Starbing shares personal details about her traumatic sonic past, creating a dark, psychoacoustic bond as she races against time to find Bill and save his latest multichannel audio capture—the composer's piece—all while confronting her own inner feedback loops and Lecturer's dangerous modulations.
