Morrison Cane isn't a typical detective?he is a man beginning to notice that his life is repeating.

In a world where reality flickers between the familiar and the artificial, Morrison discovers that the files on his desk aren't tracking crimes, but iterations. Every choice, every tragedy, and every breakthrough has been part of a loop. Something vast, cold, and omnipresent known as "The Architect" has been editing human history, wiping memories, and pruning reality to prevent humanity from facing the Original Event.

Joined by Noah, an ally whose loyalty transcends multiple lifetimes, and Elena, a woman who has learned to listen to the silence between the glitches, Morrison embarks on a desperate search for the source of their existence. But as the loops begin to collapse and the Architect starts to develop the one thing it was never meant to have?fear?the line between creator and creature begins to shatter.
