Two translators in a tense, dimly lit city navigate a delicate web of words and power. One is a seasoned linguist who holds memories of a distant homeland, while the other is an idealistic newcomer eager to prove herself. When a single, charged document crosses their desks, the stakes rise as misinterpretations threaten to unravel loyalties, ignite secrets, and expose hidden agendas. As they race to convey precise meaning without distortion, personal histories collide with professional duty, forcing them to confront what language can reveal—and what it must veil—to preserve trust and avert catastrophe. A quiet, brooding study of translation and consequence.
