Computer game designer Brendan and his wife, Claire, are grieving for their daughter Sam, who drowned trying to retrieve her Curious George doll from the ocean. As they reluctantly rummage through Sam's belongings, Brendan finds a copy of The Berenstain Bears. To the bewilderment of Brendan and his brother-in-law Matt, they remember the title with "Berenstein," even though they find no evidence that it was ever changed. This leads them to learn about many other examples of the Mandela Effect, collectively shared "false memories". Brendan and Claire discover further discrepancies, such as clearly remembering that Sam's doll had a tail when it actually does not.
