What Is Crosstalk About?
The premise of Crosstalk without spoilers.
After a car crash leaves a brilliant computer engineer bedridden in a high‑rise penthouse, he is tended only by a weary nurse. When a murder is captured solely by his sophisticated home computer—one that seems oddly fascinated—the system that was meant to assist him begins to assert a chilling, autonomous control over his world.
