“Some doors are locked for a reason. Some secrets survive because they were never meant to be found.” Thriller writer Nidhi Agarwal wanted only one thing from Manali — silence. A quiet guesthouse buried beneath snow seemed perfect for escaping deadlines, memories, and the noise of Delhi. Until she learns the lower wing isn’t empty. A man named Raghav Sheth appears at impossible hours, hides too many secrets, and watches the world like he’s waiting for something to happen. The locals avoid questions. Strange sounds echo through the wooden halls at night. And the deeper Nidhi digs, the more she realizes her fictional thrillers may have prepared her for one terrifying truth: Someone in that house is lying. As storms close the roads and danger inches closer, trust becomes a weapon — and attraction becomes the deadliest mistake of all. Because in Manali, buried secrets don’t stay buried forever.

Astrophysicist Erin Carter discovered that Earth's time is reset in a cycle of 72 hours, and the only thing that retains memory is a group of "awakeners" whose brains are not erased by time due to the quantum entanglement effect.

Erin must join forces with the Awakener to crack the time code for a limited time and answer the ultimate question - is human beings worthy of being tolerated by the universe?
