Isaac has always felt like something's been missing. In the midst of his quiet, ordinary life, a strange presence keeps him company-someone he calls Maya. At first, she feels like the only real thing in his fractured world, a comforting voice guiding him through every hardship. But as Isaac begins to unravel the mysteries of his past, something unsettling starts to emerge. The world around him doesn't behave as it should. Conversations don't make sense, people act strangely, and time seems to stretch and bend in ways that don't fit. Isaac is left wondering: What's real? As the boundaries between illusion and reality begin to blur, Isaac is confronted by a terrifying truth. He is not the person he thought he was. In fact, he might not be a person at all. Who created him? And why? In a descent into madness, Isaac must confront the chilling possibility that everything he's known is just a story-one that may be reaching its inevitable end.
