A sharp, sunlit thriller unfolds around a late-summer city-wide countdown that draws ordinary lives into a web of suspense. In a neighborhood where every clock ticks with memory and motive, a talented but overextended police detective teams up with a stubborn, brilliant puzzle-hacker to trace a string of meticulously timed incidents. As the timer ticks, secrets surface—past loyalties blur, and unspoken fears surface in the most intimate corners of daily life. With each carefully choreographed clue, the duo learns that the true danger lies not in the devices themselves, but in what people are willing to reveal when pressure mounts.
