It started as a murmur—small shifts, unnoticed by those who weren’t looking. The world was too busy, too distracted, too convinced that the past was merely the past. But then came the first sign, the undeniable proof that what was coming had been set in motion long before anyone was willing to admit. A year of quiet revelations, whispered warnings, and a choice that would be forgotten by most—but not by those who mattered. Not by those who would need to remember.

The dust had settled. The world had moved on. Or at least, it tried to. But what do you do when survival is no longer the goal, and the ghosts of your past demand more than just your silence? In 2040, Dan Tesson stood at the edge of the life he had fought for, only to realize that peace was never the end of the journey—it was only the beginning of another choice. Because in the quiet after the storm, something was stirring. Something that refused to stay buried.

Time is supposed to erase. To soften. To let wounds fade. But some names, some faces—some debts—do not disappear. And in 2053, a shadow cast long ago returned to reclaim what it believed was still owed. Mr. H had been patient. He had waited. And now, he was looking for Dan Tesson again. But this time, Dan wasn’t the same man he had once been. This time, the hunted was ready.
