When federal agents pound on Caden Vale’s door, they bring an accusation as precise as it is impossible: he’s behind one of the most sophisticated data breaches in recent history. The evidence is flawless—too flawless. Every digital breadcrumb points to him, yet none of it feels real. Released on bail with the help of a skeptical lawyer, Caden begins to notice the cracks: vanishing proof, surveillance logs written from a stranger’s perspective, and shadows in glass that mimic his movements but not his timing.
As he searches for answers, allies prove slippery and his own memories become unreliable terrain. The more he digs, the clearer one truth becomes—someone wants him caught, but not for the reasons he’s been told. Each step closer to the source pulls him deeper into a web where the watcher and the watched trade places without warning.
But in a world of mirrored identities, manufactured histories, and systems that seem to anticipate his every move, Caden must confront a question more dangerous than guilt or innocence: what if the person he’s fighting to prove himself to… isn’t him at all?
In this taut, twist-driven psychological thriller, nothing is as it appears and every truth carries its own trap. How far would you go to uncover yourself—if you couldn’t be sure you were real?
