About this listen
A childhood lie. A deadly truth. And a name that was never supposed to exist.
Abby has spent her life running from a childhood tragedy—one she’s convinced she caused: the death of her twin sister. As a child, Abby blamed an imaginary friend named Tina. But no one believed her. And over time, even she has begun to doubt herself.
Now, years later, she’s a mother trying to leave the past behind. But when her young daughter begins whispering to an invisible friend—one with a familiar name—her carefully rebuilt life starts to unravel. Desperate for answers, Abby uncovers eerie childhood drawings in the basement—along with a name scrawled in childish handwriting: Tina.
Tina was never real. That’s what they told her. But they were wrong.
For generations, Abby’s family has been cursed—one ‘good’ twin, one ‘bad’ twin—a legacy steeped in jealousy, betrayal, and tragedy. Determined to break the cycle and prove her innocence, she turns to the last person she ever wanted to trust—her ex-husband. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes: Some imaginary friends were never imaginary at all. And the truth is more dangerous than the lies Abby has told herself.

Story
When artist Kevan returns home after her grandmother’s death, she intends to close the door on a past she has spent years avoiding. What she doesn’t expect is an inheritance—an abandoned house in the woods, untouched for years yet heavy with the weight of something unfinished. As Kevan visits her hometown, she crosses paths with a stranger, Nathan, who is searching for answers to his sister’s disappearance more than two decades ago—an unsolved mystery that may be tied to the same house in the woods.

Trauma victims are not new to medical examiner Faith McIntyre, but this one is different. The unconscious woman clinging to life after a hit and run is FBI agent Macy Crow. What the woman from Quantico was doing in a dark alley after midnight is just one mystery. The other is more unsettling: Macy is Faith’s mirror image—the twin sister she never knew she had.

Story
Jillian Harper thought moving to the quiet little town in Montana would be the fresh start her family needed. A charming farmhouse, friendly neighbors, and endless open fields—it was supposed to be perfect. Until the bodies are found. Buried deep on their land. Hidden for years. The police are everywhere. The town is whispering. And Tucker—her devoted husband—is acting . . . strange. He won’t tell her where he was all day. He won’t explain why his phone was off. And worst of all—he won’t meet her eyes.

New Orleans Detective Nikki Mayeaux has decided it’s when a technicality sets a serial rapist free. Jaded and frustrated, this latest injustice brings her to a boiling point. She arrives at the monster’s home intending to end his reign of terror, only to find someone else got there first. His throat slit, his lifeless body left in the front seat of his car.
