They didn't steal his safe. They stole his daughter's past.

Raymond Mercer, a grieving locksmith, reports an impossible crime: a custom-built safe—welded shut from the inside—has vanished from under his bed. Inside wasn't money or documents. It was the last remnants of his missing daughter, Emily.

When a shattered cassette tape reveals a message Emily wasn't supposed to record—"Uncle Derek is lying"—Ray uncovers a conspiracy deeper than grief. His brother, Derek, supposedly dead for years, is alive. And the organization he works for, known only as The Vault, doesn't just hide children. It erases them.

Now, Ray must navigate a labyrinth of abandoned tunnels, masked figures wearing familiar faces, and his own fractured memories. But the hardest lock to pick won't be made of metal—it's the truth buried in Emily's mind. And some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

A relentless psychological thriller about the lies we tell to survive, the memories we bury to forget, and the price of digging up what should've stayed dead.
