One watch. One turn. One unraveling.

When grieving son Charlie Virellan uncovers a centuries-old pocket watch in his mother's attic, he doesn't expect it to tick—let alone tick backward. But with every turn of the crown, reality rewinds. Dinners replay. Dates re-form. Friendships fracture. The past becomes pliable.

What begins as a second chance quickly becomes a curse.

Each correction births deeper distortions—forgotten conversations, vanished people, haunted reflections. Even time itself begins to bleed. And at the center of it all is Evelyn, a chilling woman who knows too much about Charlie, the watch, and the choices he's yet to make.

As cryptic letters from his dead mother arrive posthumously, and as loved ones begin to forget—or fear—him, Charlie finds himself at the mercy of a force older than time and more seductive than love. But the watch has a rule of its own:

Every fix has a cost. Every version of you breaks something else.

If he can't outrun the spiral, he may not just lose his life.

He may lose his story.

Charlie Virellan
A thirty-nine-year-old man adrift in grief and regret. Sarcastic, deeply emotional, and haunted by the choices he didn't make—until the watch lets him try again. And again. And again...

Evelyn
Mysterious. Ageless. Alluring. Evelyn claims to be a "guide," but her presence is more powerful than comforting. She sees through timelines, slips between realities, and holds secrets Charlie may not survive learning.

Sarah C. Virellan
Charlie's late mother, who once held the watch—and paid the price. Even in death, her voice returns through handwritten letters, warnings, and memories that may or may not be real.

Matt Drelan
Charlie's childhood best friend. Loyal. Crude. And maybe the first to betray him—before Charlie even realizes it happened.

Sophie
A woman Charlie once loved... or maybe never did. As timelines fold, Sophie begins to remember things Charlie doesn't—and forgets things he never changed.
