Down County Road 17 – Altered Realities Season One Finale

Some roads lead home. Some roads lead nowhere. And some roads… should never have been built at all.

When college student Emery Ward takes a late-night detour down County Road 17, she thinks it’s just another forgotten stretch of highway. But the deeper she drives, the stranger the night becomes — dying cars, vanishing towns, and silent cornfields that seem to breathe. And when the little girl appears, when the house appears, when the eyes appear — Emery realizes she’s crossed into something far older, far crueler, and far more patient than she ever imagined.

Tonight’s finale isn’t just a story. It’s a descent into the forgotten seams of reality — the dark cracks that maps don’t mark and prayers can’t reach. Trapped in a nightmare that blurs space, time, and memory, Emery must face not only monsters that hate humanity — but the ancient auctioneers who profit from it.

In the darkest moment, a single truth cuts through: You are not alone.

Grab your flashlight. Stay brave. And whatever you do... Don’t stop when the girl asks for a ride.

🎙️ Altered Realities Presents: Data Witches – Control. Alt. Revenge.

In a world ruled by men cloaked behind firewalls, contracts, and billion-dollar smiles, something ancient stirs in the circuits. Not with spells. Not with potions. But with passwords, packet traces—and vengeance encoded in every keystroke.

They called them witches. They dismissed them. Deleted them. Tried to erase them. But they forgot: The witches never died. They upgraded.

Follow Calla Monroe—broken, erased, and forgotten—as she unlocks a hidden network of digital witches who don’t knock… they breach. Motherboard Maggie. Firewall Freya. Torrent Tilda. Glitch. Echo. Women who the world buried under shame, lies, and silence—now risen from the ruins, ready to burn the system that betrayed them.

Their mission? Expose Victor Rhames—the architect of a digital dystopia, a man who didn’t just steal futures but rewrote history to erase the very souls of those who stood in his way.

But revenge in the wired world is never simple. Victor is no ordinary villain. He’s a god of data, a king of corrupted dreams—and the witches will have to survive their darkest trials before they can bring him down.

Firewalls crack. Simulations shatter. Old scars bleed anew. And through it all, a single phrase pulses through the shadows: CTRL. ALT. REVENGE.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a war cry. A revolution stitched from code, memory, and rage. And it’s only the beginning.

🔮 Altered Realities — Where the future isn’t written. It’s rewritten.

ETERNAL ECHOES An Altered Realities Original

What if this life isn't your first? What if your soul remembers more than your mind ever could? And what if—buried deep within the folds of your dreams—is a love so ancient, so powerful, that not even death could sever it?

Callum Rourke has nothing left—except a face he cannot forget. A woman who haunts his dreams, his memories, his very soul. When an experimental procedure promises to unlock the echoes of his past lives, Callum dives headfirst into a spiral of forgotten battles, forbidden romances, and cursed enemies who have chased him through centuries.

But some echoes were never meant to be heard. Some love stories were never meant to survive. And some monsters—hidden behind familiar faces—were never meant to die.

Tonight, memory is a battlefield. Tonight, love is a weapon. Tonight, fate demands a final reckoning.

This is Eternal Echoes. Plug in. Remember. Fight.

Only on Altered Realities — where the past isn't over… it’s just waiting to be remembered.
