Some people are shaped by fire.
Others are born from what it leaves behind.
Paul was never meant to exist-or at least that's what the story says. Left at a fire station as a child, he grows up under the care of a fire captain and his cold, resentful wife. To everyone around him, he is gentle, brilliant, impossible to hate... the kind of person who couldn't hurt a fly.
But kindness is not always what it seems.
When night falls, something inside Paul begins to awaken-something that doesn't believe in forgiveness, only judgment. And the world around him starts to quietly disappear one mistake at a time.
Meanwhile, someone in his own home begins to suspect that the boy they raised might not be who they think he is... and the truth behind his origin is buried deeper than anyone is ready for.
Because fire doesn't just destroy.
Sometimes... it remembers.
