When Ethan, Sam and James find themselves the target of cryptic emails from someone posing as their childhood friend Molly, they assume she’s been the victim of simple hack. When they reach out to her, however, they discover that Molly’s been missing for months, and no one has any idea what happened to her.
As the emails keep coming, each containing a tale written by Molly, her friends realize that this may be more than just a sick joke. Someone has hidden information in the stories, details pulled from real life that point them to people and places from Molly’s past; clues that may lead them to their missing friend… and to an impending technological disaster.

ABOUT “TRANSPLANT”
In Episode 4’s anthology story “Transplant,” Henry McColume's a man facing obsolescence at every turn. At work, he's made redundant by the technology slowly replacing all the workers his age; At home, he spends most of his time alone, missing the wife he lost tragically in the same accident that left him with scar tissue wrapping his heart. When his doctor tells him he's too old for a transplant, Henry resigns himself to a pitiful death, until his stepdaughter seeks out a heart surgeon via a shadowy forum on the dark web.
Despite feeling conflicted about breaking the law and guilty about a second chance he doesn't think he deserves, Henry reluctantly agrees to the operation. Months later, fully recovered and starting a new life, he begins to notice he's not feeling like himself. Strange confidence, surprising aggression, startling visions, habits he never had before - He begins to wonder if his odd behavior may have anything to do with the surgery. Is it possible that his new heart is affecting him? Changing him?
Though his stepdaughter tries to reassure him, Henry becomes increasingly convinced that there was something wrong with the former owner of the heart. Something dark.
Something that was passed on to him.
