Documented

By: Kurt Dawson

Narrated by: Amanda Bates

Documented is a psychological thriller about what happens when doing the “right thing” quietly rewrites your life.

Lily accepts a last-minute overnight babysitting job in an upscale, heavily monitored home. The parents are polite. The child is observant. The rules are simple—except one: if anything feels off, do not call the police.

At first, the house is merely unsettling. A locked room no one discusses. Security cameras with unexplained gaps. Notes that appear without explanation. But when Lily finally does what she believes is responsible—documenting her concerns—she discovers that the act of reporting is not neutral.

It is transformative.

What follows is not an investigation, an arrest, or a confrontation—but something far more insidious. Quiet consequences. Vanishing opportunities. Systems that respond before she acts, anticipate her choices, and classify her not as a witness, but as a risk.

As Lily digs deeper, she uncovers a web of predictive assessments, compliance language, and institutional shortcuts designed to manage escalation rather than prevent harm. The more she learns, the clearer it becomes: the system does not need guilt to function—only documentation.

Taut, unsettling, and chillingly plausible, Documented explores surveillance, bureaucracy, and the irreversible cost of being recorded. Because once a system learns your name, it never forgets.
