Time stopped. Then it started repeating. And the man holding the world together is the one they tried to execute.
Physicist Lena Moreau is trapped in an endless March 12, 2087. Every morning, the same sun rises. Every night, everything resets-except memory. Billions of people are reliving the same day while slowly losing their minds.
But the loop is breaking. Children across the globe whisper the same message: Find the man who refused to die.
Lena discovers the truth: a condemned prisoner named Silas Vane is the anchor of the loop. He was supposed to die to save humanity. Instead, his refusal to surrender his consciousness created the prison-and the decaying shield that protects reality from a void called the Silence.
Now Lena must choose: free Silas by completing his execution, or risk destroying everything to save the man who broke the world.
But Silas isn't the only one who refuses to die. A woman who loved him. A scientist who used him. And the architect of the disaster, who believes one more sacrifice can fix everything.
They all want to save humanity. They all have different ideas about who gets to survive.
Tomorrow never came. But someone has to decide what comes after.
