Everyone deserves a second chance, but how far would you go for one?

Garry Plumb is about to find out. He has always been invisible – a solitary data analyst whose cruel past left him incapable of forming relationships.

But when a colleague’s sister is murdered, Garry’s world cracks open. A chance encounter with the enigmatic Billy Blunt introduces him to a secret that defies reality: a living device capable of sending its holder back in time, offering the chance to rewrite the past and reshape the present.

As Garry steps into his own history, the chance to right old wrongs and erase the scars of trauma proves intoxicating. But with every change he makes, the line between justice and vengeance blurs.

Meanwhile, DCI John Waters is closing in on a chilling pattern of murders, unaware that the trail he’s following is about to lead somewhere no investigation has gone before.

Escaping their separate prisons, their paths collide in the night. Unable to trust their own minds, they become each other’s only witness. Their single shared clue is a name: Hope Hospital.

As they trace this fragment of truth, a terrifying reality emerges. The erased past doesn’t just hide a dark conspiracy. It hides the dangerous versions of themselves they were never meant to remember.
