The premise

Years after a brutal attack left her in a constantly shifting reality, Kirby Mazrachi learns that a recent murder is linked to her assault. She teams with veteran reporter Dan Velazquez to understand her ever-changing present—and confront her past.

Horror Vault's take

Kirby Mazrachi survived a savage attack, but the aftermath left her reality in constant, inexplicable flux — names change, memories shift, and nothing stays fixed. When a new murder surfaces with disturbing echoes of her own assault, Kirby refuses to remain a passive victim and begins digging into connections that defy rational explanation. Partnering with a seasoned Chicago reporter, she embarks on an investigation that is as much about reclaiming her sense of self as it is about stopping a killer. Shining Girls blends serial-killer thriller tension with a deeply unsettling, supernatural edge that keeps viewers perpetually off-balance.
