Ten years after the storm that leveled Arcadia Bay, Max Caulfield is a prestigious photography professor at Caledon University, living a quiet life in Vermont with the woman she sacrificed everything to save. But when her friend Safi is murdered, Max's long-dormant powers don't just return-they shatter.
Torn between the snowy crime scene of 2023 and the sun-drenched halls of Blackwell Academy in 2010, Max find herself haunting her own past. To catch a killer who can slip through time, Max must team up with a sixteen-year-old Chloe Price-a girl who doesn't know who Max is, but feels the pull of a love that hasn't happened yet.
As the two timelines begin to merge, Max must face a devastating reality: her presence in the past is triggering the very storm she already lived through. Can she solve Safi's murder and defeat the "Shifter" without erasing the life she spent a decade building?
In a world of shifting echoes and silver static, Max is about to learn that some ghosts refuse to stay buried-and some loves are powerful enough to anchor a breaking universe.
