Aria Nadeau is a licensed memory diver—trained to enter the minds of trauma victims and safely extract them from their deepest wounds. But after a routine dive with a mysterious client named Deacon, Aria emerges into a world she no longer recognizes. Her digital assistant calls her by the wrong name. Strangers accuse her of crimes she doesn't remember. And most disturbing of all, her own reflection begins to behave independently.

As the lines between memory and reality blur, Aria is haunted by a forgotten session buried deep in the institute's archives—a dive without records, into a file with no metadata. She begins to unravel the truth: something followed her out of the dive, something that looks like her, thinks like her, but isn't her.

Torn between reclaiming her life and confronting a shadow that may be more real than she is, Aria must navigate a maze of distorted memories, echo identities, and shattered trust. But every step toward the truth threatens to erase her completely.

When reality fractures, how do you prove you're still the original?
