Drama Horror Science Fiction Thriller
In the year 2053, at 86 years old, world-renowned quantum physicist Vincent Marcum finally shatters the boundaries of science. After losing his wife and daughter in a devastating accident back in 2001, the once-celebrated genius retreated from the spotlight, consumed by a single obsession: bending time itself. For over five decades, he has worked in isolation, chasing the impossible dream of time travel. But when his breakthrough finally arrives, it brings a horrifying truth. Time is not a loop—it is a straight, unyielding arrow. And that leaves a chilling question: if you journey to the past, what happens when you find that no one was ever there?
