Audiobook narrator Mira Foster has spent ten years giving voice to other people's stories, becoming one of Portland's most sought-after voice talents. But when a manuscript arrives on her doorstep with no author information—just a Post-it note reading "Record this. Urgent"—she encounters something unprecedented: her own voice echoing back passages she's just narrated when no one else is present.
The psychological thriller manuscript contains a cryptic countdown marking seven days until some unspecified event. More disturbing, it references details about Mira's past that no stranger should know, including an accident on Forester Road fifteen years ago that Mira herself can't fully remember. When strange events escalate—the manuscript appearing in places she didn't leave it, her recorded voice speaking unprompted from empty rooms—Mira consults her long-time psychiatrist, Dr. Catherine Abrams.
The consultation delivers a shocking revelation: Mira supposedly has a twin sister named Maya who died in that accident—a sister Mira has no memory of. As the countdown continues, Mira begins seeing her twin—first as apparent hallucinations, then as a presence that feels increasingly real. Maya makes a shattering claim: Mira isn't Mira at all, but Maya herself, living with a false identity constructed after the accident.
According to Maya, Catherine Abrams orchestrated their parents' deaths to gain control of valuable family property, then attempted to kill both sisters when Maya began investigating. When Maya survived the crash that killed Mira, Catherine manipulated her traumatized mind into adopting her dead sister's identity, keeping her medicated and isolated for fifteen years.
With help from James Kelley—a sound engineer who claims to be her forgotten fiancé—Mira/Maya discovers evidence that her "Maya personality" has been investigating Catherine during periods when her medication levels were low. The evidence includes dashcam footage showing Catherine deliberately running the twins' car off the road and documentation of Catherine's partnership with developer Marcus Westlake in a scheme to sell the Foster family's valuable cabin property—a deal closing on the accident's fifteenth anniversary, just days away.
As Maya's memories resurface, she reconnects with former colleagues from her life as an investigative journalist. Together, they gather evidence while evading Catherine's increasingly desperate attempts to silence Maya permanently—including a violent attack that leaves James presumed dead and their evidence stolen.
With the countdown nearing zero, Maya and her allies confront Catherine at an investor event where she's finalizing the development deal. There, Maya publicly reclaims her true identity and exposes Catherine's decades of manipulation and murder. The FBI arrests Catherine and Westlake, with Catherine eventually receiving multiple life sentences for her crimes.
In the aftermath, Maya realizes she can't simply revert to who she was before the accident, nor continue as the person Catherine shaped her to be. Instead, she integrates both identities—Maya's investigative determination and Mira's narrative gifts—creating "Echo Chamber," a platform for telling stories of lost and reclaimed identities.
Five years later, Maya has transformed her family's cabin into a retreat center for people recovering their sense of self after trauma or manipulation. Through her unique perspective as someone who lived as two different people, she helps others navigate their own identity challenges, proving that integration can create something stronger than what existed before.
