Simon X. Frederick

To join the elite ATIC Guard, Alana Toro must pass one final test: enter a simulation, prevent a terrorist attack, and prove her loyalty. Every mistake resets the clock. Every death disappears - except in her memory, where the weight keeps building. The more Alana learns, the more she begins to question the organisation she fought so hard to join.

A powerful man is confronted about his place in the world, by a being that manifests in the objects around him.

The actor locks herself away to learn lines. But something in the room is stealing time.
