When a celebrated novelist finds his once-brilliant imagination clouded by disillusionment, a pragmatic consultant is brought in to revive his faltering career. Her job is simple: ground his fiction in reality. But nothing stays simple for long.

She approaches the task with logic and precision, dismantling his narratives piece by piece—until she begins to notice unsettling inconsistencies not just in his manuscripts, but in the world surrounding them. What was meant to be a creative reset becomes something else entirely: a descent into the darker corners of the publishing world, where truth is often stranger—and more dangerous—than fiction.

Together, they navigate a maze of secrets, each revelation tightening the noose. As trust grows between them, so does the realization that the story they're uncovering could cost them more than just their reputations. With every discovery, the line between fiction and reality frays... and what started as collaboration turns into a fight for survival.
