When ER nurse Naomi Thorne begins experiencing violent, unexplained dislocations from reality—moments where lives hang in the balance and choices carry physical cost—she is forced into a role she never asked for and cannot escape. Each act of mercy demands something in return, and every decision leaves a mark.

As the boundaries between home, work, and something far more dangerous begin to dissolve, Naomi and those closest to her must confront a truth no one is prepared to face: saving a life may require more than courage—it may require everything.
