The future can be seen. The past can be erased. Sanity is optional.

Former Dallas detective Matt Dales came to the distant Sirius Colony to disappear. Beneath the endless neon glow of the domed city, among the towering surveillance systems and suffocating corporate control, no one asks questions—as long as you obey. For Matt, that anonymity is essential. He cannot remember the event that destroyed his career and left him notorious across Earth as a child killer. The memory is gone, buried somewhere inside a damaged mind that no longer trusts itself.

Years earlier, Matt survived accidental exposure to “the Mind Rip,” the catastrophic psychological effects of unhindered faster-than-light travel. Most victims go violently insane or are forcibly mind-wiped by government authorities before the damage spreads. Matt survived, but the experience shattered something deep inside him. Now he suffers from crippling science fiction PTSD and terrifying flashes of future events—visions so vivid they blur the line between prophecy and madness. Every moment threatens to push him over the edge.

On Sirius, crime is considered impossible. Colonial computers monitor every citizen, every conversation, every movement through a vast surveillance network designed to predict and suppress criminal behavior before it happens. But someone is beating the system.

A serial killer is hunting inside the colony.

As bodies begin to pile up beneath the artificial skies of Sirius, Matt is pulled into an investigation that exposes hidden corruption buried beneath layers of corporate propaganda and shadowy government conspiracy. Powerful figures manipulate the colony from behind the scenes, controlling information, rewriting memories, and deciding who deserves to survive. The deeper Matt digs, the more he realizes the killer may be connected to the missing pieces of his own shattered past.

To stop the murders, Matt must trust the visions destroying his sanity before the future he sees becomes reality.
