In the smiling dystopia of 2050s Moscow, where corporate states edit history by erasing memory, Sineus is a star director. He helps the system craft its perfect, placid narrative, believing he is creating beauty. That illusion is destroyed when a rival executive, Maximilian Voss, unleashes a catastrophic psychic attack on a civilian district and perfectly frames Sineus for the massacre. The state that celebrated him now wants him dead. Hunted by Ministry police and their tireless drones, Sineus is driven into the city's grimy under-levels. He and his small band of dissidents must abandon their only sanctuary. They soon discover Voss is part of a corporation that sees memory manipulation not as a tool for social harmony, but as a weapon for ultimate control. Voss isn't just framing Sineus; he's studying him, learning to replicate his unique, innate power to reshape reality. Every move they make is predicted, every safe house compromised. As their network is dismantled, another powerful faction offers Sineus a deal: their protection in exchange for the priceless resource of his family's secret knowledge. Refusal turns a potential ally into another deadly predator, catching his team between two ruthless forces. The trap finally springs when Voss captures Sineus's closest friend, threatening to tear his mind apart for secrets. To save him, Sineus must consider using a forbidden technique from his ancestral codex—a move that could stop Voss but at the cost of unleashing a wave of raw, uncontrolled memory, creating a permanent REALITY_FRAY that would shatter millions of minds. He must decide between the life of one friend and the sanity of a city, between becoming a monster to fight one or letting the lies win. In a world built on forgetting, what happens when someone forces it to remember?
