Retrógrado

In a sun-drenched coastal town, a stoic historian returns to his childhood home after a decades-long absence. When a peculiar clockmaker arrives with a relic that aging memories insist is impossible, the town’s quiet facade begins to crack. As days fold backward in small, uncanny increments, the past and present collide, forcing the protagonist to confront a long-buried secret that reshapes his sense of identity, loyalty, and love. What starts as a personal reckoning quickly expands into a labyrinth of choice, chance, and consequence, where every moment held sacred once again demands to be understood before it vanishes.
