Dean Evers settles into his chair for another evening of baseball. The elderly widower has little else to fill his time since his wife died. On screen, David Price dominates the Rays versus Mariners game. Then Evers notices something strange in the crowd shots. A face in the seats behind home plate belongs to someone from his past. Someone who cannot possibly be there. Someone who should not exist anymore. Night after night, more familiar faces appear in that same seat. People from decades ago materialize during the broadcasts. Each sighting pulls Evers deeper into memories he thought were buried. The parade of impossible visitors grows longer. Then one evening, Evers sees a face that chills him more than all the others combined. This digital original story explores how the past refuses to stay hidden, even when we desperately want it to remain buried.
