On a stormy November night in 1957, a prominent lawyer is found dead in a smoky Chicago nightclub—impaled by a whiskey bottle, blood smeared in the shape of a "V," and a scream that cuts through Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." The police rule it a drunken brawl.

But young journalist Elliot Carver sees what others overlook: Marcus Green didn't drink. His little finger was missing. And someone wanted the world to forget.

What begins as a crime story spirals into a chilling conspiracy spanning decades, buried under classified projects, erased memories, and encoded messages hidden in broken mirrors and ghost reels. As Elliot peels back layers of lies, he discovers he's not just hunting the truth—he is part of it.

Haunted by lost time and a growing sense of dread, Elliot must outrun a covert organization known only as Concordia, unlock his own rewritten past, and expose a truth powerful enough to shake the foundation of reality itself.
