Spoilers ahead

Nick Di Santo is tormented by a chilling gift: when he touches someone, he immediately sees exactly how that person will die. This eerie burden shadows his life, coloring every interaction with a sense of dread and inevitability. On his 23rd birthday, the tension reaches a new peak when his mother, Lillian, who has spent years confined in an asylum, summons him with a purpose that feels both urgent and unsettling. She drops a bombshell: the father he believed to be dead is actually alive, and this revival may hold the key to the origin of Nick’s terrifying power. This revelation sets Nick on a dangerous quest to find Seth, a journey that pits him against time, memory, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
