Synopsis

January Cole, a security chief at the Paradox Hotel, faces an impossible task in a facility where time travel is a commodity for the ultra-rich. The hotel itself is a temporal anomaly, with clocks running backward and ghosts rumored to roam its halls. Her job takes a dark turn when she discovers a corpse in Room 526 – a body that only she can perceive, hinting at a deteriorating grip on reality. Adding to the chaos, powerful figures arrive to privatize time-travel technology, leading to suspicious 'accidents' that January believes are connected to the unseen killer. As her unique ability to perceive temporal anomalies makes her the only one who can solve the murder, it simultaneously blurs the lines between her past, present, and future. This leads January to confront not just the hotel’s dark secrets, but also her own profound grief and memories in a thrilling, time-bending investigation.
