The story
Alex has built his life around routine. The same train into London, the same seat and the same careful distance from everyone around him. Then Daniel appears across the aisle.
Their connection feels immediate. A shared love of music leads to an unexpected encounter, then to something neither man can easily explain. But as Alex allows Daniel into his life, unsettling fragments of another story begin to surface.
An old photograph suggests they met long before either of them remembers. A hidden file contains Alex's name, his face and details of a life he does not recognise. Every answer reveals another version of the past, each more convincing than the last.
Someone has been watching them. Someone knows what they will do next. And the closer Alex gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell where his own choices end and somebody else's design begins.
To discover who he really is, Alex must question his memories, his relationship and the one person he most wants to trust.
