Thea dies on the street after her husband Adrian abandons her for his mistress during a city-wide blackout. She wakes up twelve days earlier with full memories and immediately begins cutting him out of her life. At the same time, she starts experiencing dangerous visions that attract a secret group called the Wardens, who hunt people like her — returners who come back from the blackout with knowledge of the coming collapse. Cole, an experienced returner who has survived multiple cycles, finds her and pulls her into hiding. He begins teaching her to control the visions before the Wardens can capture her. As the mark left by a non-human entity grows stronger, Thea is forced to stop simply running and start mastering the power that is trying to claim her. Together with her loyal friend June, Thea and Cole navigate a city that is already being watched, racing against both human hunters and the thinning barrier between worlds. Thea must decide how far she is willing to go to survive — and what she is willing to become before the blackout returns.
