When Ethan awakens in a decaying, ever-shifting labyrinth with no memory of how he got there, he's thrust into a nightmare where every door reveals fragments of his darkest regrets. The red door —a haunting symbol of unresolved trauma—taunts him with glimpses of the life he destroyed: the wife he failed, the unborn child he never knew, and the car accident that left him trapped between reality and delusion.

As Ethan navigates psychological horrors —reliving his neglect of Lila in mirrored hallways, confronting spectral voices in a collapsing courtroom, and drowning in guilt that literally floods the maze—the labyrinth forces him to confront the truth: it exists because he refused to face it . But when he finally opens the red door, the line between memory and madness crumbles, revealing a devastating truth: he killed not just his wife, but their future .

The Red Door is a visceral exploration of grief and self-forgiveness , blending surreal terror with raw emotional introspection. Ethan's journey—from denial to acceptance—reveals that while some scars never fade, they can be carried.
