The circle must close.
Kat Holinger is a woman out of time.

Following revelations that the domed city in which she’s lived her entire adult life following Earth's apocalyptic reckoning is merely the byproduct of an elaborate computer simulation that was designed to subject her consciousness to the same sorry chain of events, the esteemed criminal profiler’s short-lived defiance quickly leads to fatally divergent outcomes.

As Eidetica’s ensuing malfunctions reveal the outside world’s survival after decades of propaganda that have long been insistent to the contrary, Kat's revolt against the status quo not only leaves her friends and allies unable to recall who she is, but also endangered the entire paradigm governing the existence of an inner circle with no real-world equivalent beyond the simulation's borders.

Caught within a shrinking window to escape the collapsing virtual world, the mission to save the people she loves is further complicated by her existential quarrel with the simulation’s resident duo of AI overlords; the machinations of an embittered Trojan virus fomenting his own rebellion that only serves to hasten Spire City's demise, and the long-buried origin about Kat’s true involvement in the controversial program.

Can Kat save her world from a computer’s self-destruct sequence from within? And if she can’t, what on Earth will be waiting for her outside of it?
