In the quaint American town of Beacon's Creek, every resident inexplicably vanishes at precisely 3:00 AM, leaving behind a world frozen in time and a profound, eerie silence. Ten-year-old Ellie is spared from this temporal displacement, thanks to a peculiar "time fracture" caused by her late grandfather's antique clock. As the world around her warps, houses begin to whisper forgotten memories, and the shadows of the town's inhabitants move with a haunting, ghostly life of their own.
However, this isn't just an accident. Silas, a malevolent "Shadow Merchant" who deals in stolen moments and memories, orchestrated the event to solidify his own immortality. He is aided by Mina, a spectral figure trapped within the temporal rift—a former clockmaker who now exists only to do Silas's bidding. Yet, Mina secretly rebels, leaving behind fragmented clues for Ellie to follow. Ellie must navigate the town's labyrinthine secrets, deciphering the whispers of the houses and the ghostly movements of the shadows, to find the source of the time fracture and stop Silas before the town and its people are lost forever to the echoing silence of three o'clock.
