Beneath the glittering skyline of a city rebuilt on surveillance and silence, the Circuit Saints-once a feared band of cyber-activists-have been driven underground. In the trash zones, they scavenge to survive, haunted by the memory of a revolution crushed before it could ignite.
Kai, one of the Saints' former tacticians, lives with a single, corrosive truth: he hesitated when it mattered most. The failure gnaws at him, its details replaying in obsessive loops, until the unexpected return of Solenne-their long-lost leader-threatens to rewrite the story they've all been telling themselves.
Solenne brings with her a "miracle patch," a neural implant designed to erase fear, trauma... and something more. To the fractured Saints, it's hope. To Kai, it's a warning. As comrades submit to the patch, the group grows calmer, sharper-yet pieces of their shared past begin to vanish. Conversations skip. Names fade. And the boundaries between liberation and erasure blur.
As Kai probes deeper into the patch's design, he uncovers fragments of altered archives and voices from the night of the collapse-voices that don't match his memory. Each revelation threatens to unravel his sense of self, forcing him to confront the possibility that his hesitation was never his own.
In a world where survival may demand surrendering your past, what happens when the one thing you can't remember is the moment that defines you?
