Damon knows every brick, every shadow, every crack in the street outside his apartment—until the morning he notices an alley that has never been there before. At its end stands a door: weathered wood, brass handle, no lock. And a warning from a stranger: “Knock once, leave twice.”

One knock pulls him into a life almost like his own, but not quite—different faces, altered memories, and a version of himself reflected in the eyes of people who seem to know him. Each knock promises a reset, but with every new world, something feels… missing.

The rules shift without explanation. The boundaries between truth and deception blur. And the more Damon searches for the perfect life beyond the door, the more the door seems to be searching for him.

Somewhere beyond its frame is the version of reality he’s been chasing. Somewhere else is the thing waiting to take it from him.

In a maze of altered lives and fractured identities, Damon must decide if stepping through again is survival… or surrender.

When the next knock comes, will he answer—

or is he already on the other side?
