Async Hat

Description

In 1990, scientists from the Async Research Institute watch recovered video shot by researcher Naren Warne, who, while on an expedition into a large extradimensional space ("the Backrooms"), was separated from his group, chased and attacked by an unknown entity. Furniture store owner Clark is struggling to cope with his alcoholism and recent divorce. He regularly sees therapist Mary Kline, who is working through her own trauma related to her agoraphobic, paranoid mother and the demolition of her childhood home. Preoccupied with the store's tenuous finances, he hires an electrician to investigate its mysteriously high electrical bills and flickering lights. The electrician finds three colored breaker switches installed at an odd angle.
