The rain-slicked streets of Seattle reflect a city on the brink, mirroring the fractured reality of Dani Silva.  A rising star in the architectural world, Dani finds her carefully constructed life dissolving around her.  An anonymous note, scrawled in chilling crimson ink, delivers a stark ultimatum: *“Confess, or fade.”* What begins as a morbid prank quickly spirals into a terrifying reality as Dani’s existence flickers like a faulty hologram.  Colleagues forget her name. Security footage vanishes. Even her reflection seems to question her presence.  Piece by piece, her life is being erased.
Driven by a methodical mind, Dani refuses to accept the supernatural.  Her investigation unearths a chilling conspiracy, a technology woven into the very fabric of Seattle — Echo, a system capable of manipulating reality itself. And Dani, unwittingly, holds the key to its control. Her architectural masterpiece, the Chronos headquarters, becomes a symbol of her unwitting betrayal, its sleek lines concealing a sinister purpose.
The “crime” she's accused of?  Stumbling upon Echo's secrets.  Now, Chronos, the shadowy corporation behind the technology, is determined to silence her.  To reclaim her identity, Dani must expose them, a fight that could cost her more than just her existence.  It could cost the city its soul.
Aided by a disillusioned programmer haunted by his creation and a network of digital dissenters, Dani descends into a world of encrypted files and erased data logs. She must learn to manipulate the very technology designed to erase her, becoming a ghost in their machine, a glitch in their meticulously constructed reality.  To fight for her existence, she must embrace her disappearance.
Within the glass and steel fortress of Chronos headquarters, Dani faces her final test.  Can she awaken the city from its digital slumber before she fades completely?  The rain continues to fall on Seattle, a city teetering on the edge of oblivion, its fate intertwined with the vanishing act of one woman.
