One afternoon in an outdoor market in India, a man's shadow vanishes without explanation. This inexplicable phenomenon, dubbed "The Forgetting," rapidly spreads across the globe, and with each disappearing shadow comes a devastating cost: the loss of all memories, often accompanied by strange new powers.

Ory and Max have managed to survive in a secluded hotel, clinging to their past, until Max's shadow disappears. Knowing that her fading memories will soon make her a danger to the man she loves, Max flees. Desperate to find her before she forgets everything they shared, Ory embarks on a perilous journey through a world transformed by this mysterious plague, facing roaming bandits, cults, and the very real threat of losing himself in the search. This haunting story explores the profound connection between memory and identity, and asks what we are willing to risk to hold onto love in a world that is forgetting itself.
