Reality is broken.
Â
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force thatâs sweeping the world is no pathogen. Itâs just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discoveryâand whatâs in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself.
Â
In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truthâand in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back.
Â
Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemyâbefore they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.
