Bryce wakes up in the sterile silence of a private psychiatric clinic with a gap in his memory and a mounting sense of dread. According to his therapist, Eva, he’s there voluntarily—a broken man seeking refuge after a violent breakdown. According to the pale-blue folder on her desk, he’s a danger to himself and others.
But Bryce remembers the lake. He remembers the cold water, the industrial shadows, and the man who didn’t surface. Most of all, he remembers his best friend, Eric—the man the records say he assaulted, but the man Bryce fears actually orchestrated his disappearance.
As the clinical walls close in, Bryce discovers that his medical file is a palimpsest—a recycled history built on someone else’s secrets. With every "therapy" session, the line between recovery and erasure blurs. To escape, Bryce must piece together the missing "Day Three" and confront the one truth more terrifying than being locked up.
