The world stopped under a forced quarantine, but Elara's house is full. Ignoring the curfew to throw the ultimate party, she finds VHS tapes hidden in her father's study: grainy footage of dark rituals suggesting her family hides a visceral secret. In the deserted streets, her father, Arthur Vane, leads a relentless hunt for a terrorist who marks the city with ash. In the wake of the destruction appears Kael: a boy who walked out of a fire without suffering a single burn. To the government, he is an "Angel." To time, he is a mistake. When these lives collide in the chaos of an illegal party, Elara realizes the true monster shares dinner with her. Time is not a cycle, it is an open wound — and the fire has come to consume what remains of reality.
