Plot Summary

The Forgotten centers on the haunting ordeal of Telly Paretta, a grieving mother whose nine-year-old son, Sam, was killed in a tragic plane crash. Fourteen months after the accident, Telly remains unable to recover from her loss, clinging desperately to the memories of her child.

Her fragile reality begins to unravel when her husband, played by Anthony Edwards, suddenly insists that they never had a child at all. Even Telly’s psychiatrist, portrayed by Gary Sinise, claims that Sam is nothing more than a product of her imagination and that her memories are the result of a psychological breakdown.

As if this were not disturbing enough, every physical trace of Sam’s existence mysteriously disappears. Photographs, records, and personal belongings vanish, leaving Telly isolated and increasingly desperate as the world around her denies the truth she knows in her heart.

Refusing to let go of her son’s memory, Telly embarks on a relentless search for answers. Her pursuit of the truth leads her beyond conventional explanations and into a shocking and terrifying reality that challenges the nature of memory, loss, and existence itself.

The Forgotten blends psychological suspense with science-fiction elements, delivering a chilling exploration of grief and the terrifying possibility that reality itself can be manipulated.
