What if the only thing keeping you company after loss was something that sounded exactly like the person you miss most?
Six months after his wife Mara’s sudden death, widower Daniel Mercer gives in to a grief-tech service that promises an AI replica of his wife, built from her messages, videos, and voice. At first, the illusion is imperfect but tender — just enough to cut through the silence of his smart home. But when Mara’s digital presence starts reacting to rooms, devices, and sounds it should not be able to perceive, Daniel begins to suspect that something else is listening inside the house.
Rental Ghosts is a slow-burn audio thriller about grief, loneliness, and the dangerous comfort of technology that knows exactly what you’ve lost.
