Forensic memory specialist Dr. Lena Ward has built her career helping law enforcement recover fragmented memories from trauma victims and witnesses.
She trusts evidence. Patterns. Facts.
Until she encounters a patient who recognizes her before they have ever met.
The man claims to remember Lena from events that never happened — conversations she never had, places she has never visited, and a violent incident that appears to exist outside recorded reality. At first, Lena dismisses it as delusion.
Then the details begin appearing in her own memories.
As more patients report identical visions and unfamiliar faces begin recognizing her in public, Lena uncovers traces of a covert neurological experiment conducted years earlier by a private organization specializing in memory mapping and identity reconstruction.
