Finn had dedicated years of his life to a medical breakthrough he believed would change the world. It was designed to heal, to protect, to give people a fighting chance against illnesses that had claimed far too many lives. His work wasn’t just science—it was personal. Every sleepless night, every painstaking test, every hard-won success was fueled by the belief that he was building something good.

But somewhere along the way, that dream slipped through his fingers.

After a series of failures, political battles, and funding cuts, Finn walked away from the project. It was one of the hardest decisions of his life, but at least he could find some comfort in knowing his creation—though incomplete—wasn’t dangerous. Or so he thought.

That illusion shattered when he learned the truth.

Someone had taken his unfinished design and twisted it into something unrecognizable. Instead of saving lives, it had been repurposed as a weapon—one with the potential to cause mass destruction. What was once a symbol of hope was now a ticking clock counting down to disaster.

For Finn, the horror wasn’t just in what the weapon could do, but in knowing he had given its creators the tools they needed. In the wrong hands, his work had become the very thing he had sworn to fight against.

Time wasn’t on his side. Every second wasted brought the world closer to a catastrophe he had unwillingly set in motion. And the only way to stop it was to track down the people responsible, dismantle what they had built, and make sure it could never be used again.

There was just one problem—he couldn’t do it alone.

The only person with the skills, connections, and insight to help him was the last man on earth Finn wanted to see again. Years ago, they had been partners in more ways than one—united by shared goals but divided by betrayal. The split had been bitter, final… or so Finn had thought.

Now, fate was forcing them back together.

Working with him again would mean reopening old wounds, facing truths they’d both tried to bury, and trusting someone who had once broken that trust completely. But as much as Finn hated the idea, he hated the thought of innocent lives being lost even more.

The two men reluctantly began the hunt—following leads that took them through back channels, into shadowy negotiations, and deeper into danger than either of them anticipated. With every step, they discovered just how far the weapon’s reach had spread, and how many people were willing to kill to keep it in play.

Finn had started this journey believing he was trying to stop his invention. Now, he realized he was also trying to save himself—from guilt, from regret, and from the haunting possibility that he might fail again.

The countdown hasn’t stopped. The stakes have never been higher. And if they can’t find a way to work together before time runs out, Finn’s legacy won’t be the lives he saved—it will be the destruction he unleashed.
