In a fractured, post-collapse New York City, where the sky lingers too long and dreams rot beneath subway grates, Luca Brown is no longer just a lost janitor or a struggling addict—he is something far more dangerous. Shattered by the fall of Symbium and the destruction of the Gate of Toth, he finds himself transformed into a code, a trigger, a Witness. As he stumbles through the ruins of his own identity, he must confront the terrifying truth of what he has become, even if it means losing his last shred of sanity. Meanwhile, Detective Josephine Jordan, haunted by inexplicable signs and names she never wrote, becomes entangled in a spiraling mystery of murders, dreams, and impossible connections. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a chilling truth: reality isn’t just breaking down—it’s repeating. The Witness Protocol is reactivating, and as systems reboot and forgotten rituals reemerge, one message becomes undeniable: the simulation is running again, but this time, the rules have changed. Get ready for a mind-bending journey where memory, identity, and the very fabric of reality hang in the balance.
