Aryan Nishat is a young man haunted by a recurring nightmare of blood-soaked hands and a void that feels more real than his waking life. His only physical link to a forgotten past is a mysterious scar on his chest, a memento of a horrific accident he survived at age seven. His fragile reality shatters when he receives a desperate letter from Nihira, the sister he hasn't spoken to in fourteen years. She reveals that their parents have died under mysterious circumstances and that she is gravely ill, pleading for him to return to the massive family estate. Aryan travels to the desolate mansion, only to find the atmosphere heavy with secrets and his sister’s behavior strangely restrictive. As he attempts to uncover the truth hidden in his father’s locked library, the world around him begins to warp. He is confronted by Niha, an enigmatic girl who claims to be an "Ethereal Primarch" existing beyond the flow of causality, and Raiyan, a pale student who warns him that he is being hunted. Told he is "not entirely human," Aryan must navigate a landscape where shadows breathe and reality itself is a glitching veil. To survive the coming nightmare and protect his sister, he must unlock the secrets of his own identity before the abyss he sees in his dreams consumes the world.
