Infos

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.
