In the gleaming city of Orelia, safety is absolute. The Department of Future Safety predicts crimes before they happen, ensuring a world without violence. But for Kasin Vallo, a gentle furniture restorer who prefers the quiet of his workshop to the noise of the city, the system makes a terrifying calculation. He receives a blue envelope with a date set three years in the future. The charge: First Degree Murder. The victim: His beloved wife, Lomi. Kasin is given a choice: accept immediate imprisonment for a crime he has not yet committed, or remain free under strict surveillance to prove the algorithm wrong. He chooses freedom, believing that his love for Lomi is stronger than any mathematical probability. But he soon discovers that the Department doesn't just predict the future—it engineers it. Stripped of his job, his assets, and his reputation, Kasin is pushed to the brink by a system designed to break him. With a tracking device locked to his wrist and a countdown ticking away, he must descend into the city's forgotten shadows to find the truth. There, among a resistance group known as the Zeros, he uncovers a conspiracy called Project Echo that goes far beyond his own marriage. As the date of the predicted murder approaches, Kasin and Lomi must fight not just for their lives, but for the right to choose their own fate. In a world of perfect order, their love becomes the ultimate act of rebellion.
