[1] The series began streaming on the video on-demand service Shudder on November 15, 2018, and premiered at Fantastic Fest earlier that year on September 23.

[2][3] It stars Hannah Gross as a young woman who is hired to track down a rare vinyl record rumored to have the capability of killing those who listen to it.

After the show, a strange woman (revealed as Lily Child in later episodes) contacts Tuck and invites him to listen to the record on behalf of a collector she refers to only as 'null and void'.

Intrigued, Etta begins investigating despite misgivings by her girlfriend Lana and her mentor Ian, warning her that the record will be nearly impossible to locate and that even listening to a portion of it drives a person insane.

They question him over the Lytton lacquer and ask him if he owns a Key record, which prompts him to angrily chase them out of the cabin; Len kills him with a rock to the head.

Lana is able to produce an address for Lily; however when Etta goes to consult Ian, she discovers gruesome remains everywhere and assumes that he died in the same manner as Len's partner.

After the pair arrive at her address, Lily explains that her family previously ran a company that raised lac insects that produced lacquer that could make records of superior quality.

She passes out again but wakes to find Ian, who says that Len's death made it possible for the insects to become perfectly tuned and produce quality lacquer, allowing them to retune the world together.
