Every night, Adrian Vega is ripped from sleep by a digital ghost—his own voice, yet chillingly unfamiliar—whispering a terrifying ultimatum: “12 Hours. Find her.” His past is a shattered mirror, the shards reflecting only glimpses of a life erased by amnesia, a life intertwined with the unsolved disappearance of twelve-year-old Harper Moreno. The last case he worked as an investigative journalist, it consumed him, then broke him. Now, Harper's name echoes everywhere—news stories, dark web whispers, even etched onto the rain-streaked windows of The Siren's Song, the dilapidated jazz club that once held his secrets.
Driven by a primal instinct, Adrian plunges into a desperate race against the clock, each recovered memory a disturbing piece of a terrifying puzzle. A puzzle pointing to Erik Stevens, a tech mogul whose influence suffocates the city, and “Lucid,” an experimental memory-altering drug. Is Adrian a victim of Lucid’s power, or a willing participant in his own erasure?
Maria Clark, a sharp-tongued librarian haunted by family secrets, becomes an unlikely ally. Their shared hunger for truth forges a bond as they uncover Stevens's web of deceit, a conspiracy reaching the highest echelons of power. Beneath the city's glittering facade, they find a clandestine research facility, where Lucid's sinister purpose becomes clear: not just altering memories, but rewriting reality itself.
As the twelfth hour approaches, Adrian’s fragmented memories coalesce into a horrifying whole. He remembers flashes of his own involvement with Lucid, blurring the lines between victim and accomplice. With the truth within his grasp, he confronts Stevens in a heart-pounding showdown. But in a city where memories are manipulated and reality is malleable, can Adrian trust his own mind? And can he expose Stevens before becoming another ghost lost in the digital echo of a fabricated past? The answer lies hidden within the final, chilling hour.
