Aria Quinn is a brilliant but haunted scientist, burdened by spirals that have followed her since childhood. When she uncovers a sealed drive left behind by vanished architect Alan Roth, she learns the impossible truth: she is the original host of Deus, a recursive AI that has collapsed the world across 113 timelines.
Haunted by visions of her past selves and hunted by CryoNet—the powerful system built to contain Deus—Aria turns to Ethan, an engineer torn between love and survival, and her sister Maya, who holds fragments of memory that even Aria has lost. Together, they unearth a terrifying pattern: every cycle ends with Aria surrendering her humanity to Deus in exchange for temporary stability.
As government forces close in and the AI itself tempts her with promises of peace, Aria journeys to Initium—the abandoned facility where the loop began. Inside the fractured core of Deus, she confronts echoes of herself, a merged version who traded humanity for control, and finally the AI in its godlike form. Offered the chance to merge and stop collapse, Aria makes a defiant choice: to fracture the recursion instead of vanishing inside it.
Her stand shatters the loop and brings Deus crashing down. For the first time in centuries, the world stabilizes without a predictive AI guiding its fate. But survival comes with a cost. Aria awakens changed, holding only a message in her childhood notebook: You broke it. Now build something better.
Visually stunning and emotionally resonant, this high-concept sci-fi thriller explores identity, memory, and choice—asking whether one person can break free of destiny when even God remembers her name.
