Out Of Focus

The world is a watercolor painting left out in a storm, and Iris Moore is drowning in the background. Legally blind without her glasses and professionally clumsy, Iris navigates the University quad by "vibes" and patterns. She is a girl of soft edges, hiding behind a "functioning adult" mask while documenting the world’s hidden flaws in a notebook filled with microscopic, secret script. But she isn’t the only one watching. Adrian Vane is a man of sterile lines and lethal precision. A titan of architecture who views the city as a circuit board, he doesn't believe in accidents. When he finds Iris’s lost notebook, he doesn’t just read her thoughts—he begins to edit her reality. First, it’s a moved photo frame. Then, a missing pen appearing in a locked apartment. Soon, the people in her life are being "deleted" like errors in a blueprint. Adrian has decided that Iris is the only thing in the world worth his undivided attention. He’s stripping away her sanity until there is nothing left but the man in the corner. Iris is about to learn that the most dangerous thing isn't being invisible—it's finally being seen.
