About this listen

She never gave birth. But the baby calls her "Mama."

When struggling would-be mother Emma Rourke receives a chilling email containing a photo of a newborn named Ava, her first instinct is denial. The baby is perfect. Familiar. And impossible.

Emma hasn’t adopted. She hasn't been approved. She hasn’t even applied in months. But the updates keep coming.

No sender. No explanation. Just images, items, and memories—of a child she never met but somehow remembers.

When a shadowy biotech company emerges from the digital fog, Emma uncovers a secret project designed to rewrite the rules of parenthood—where mothers are chosen not by fate, but by formula.

And Ava is the prototype.

As Emma’s sense of reality begins to crack, she must decide: walk away and forget, or fight for a child the world says was never hers.

A taut, gripping thriller that blends speculative science with raw maternal instinct, The Mother Code is perfect for fans of Black Mirror, The Silent Patient, and The Push.
