When billionaire Victor Aurelius, scarred by a tragic past, hijacks the world’s nuclear arsenals—set to launch in one year—humanity’s fate hangs on a 365-day thread. Alex Reed, a jaded ex-agent tied to Victor’s history, leads a fractured resistance to stop him. As cities burn and cults rise, journalist Marcus Finch unearths a kill switch buried in the arctic, while scientist Elena Sato gambles her soul on a countermeasure that could fry Alex’s mind. In a rural camp, Sarah Thompson shields her daughter Lily from the chaos, clinging to fragile hope. With nations bickering and time bleeding out, Alex confronts Victor in a frozen bunker, their neural showdown forcing a world to disarm or die. In the silence after, scars remain—but so does breath, earned through blood and defiance.
