Synopsis  

Before humanity. Before the fall. There was Michael.

In a world stitched from code and myth, where angels are dreamers, artists, warriors, and rebels… the last hope for a broken Heaven is a painter with a sword—and a secret even he doesn't know.

Abandoned with no past, no name, and no purpose, Michael survives the only way he knows how— fighting. But when the god Lucifer recruits him as a gladiator for Universal Technologies—the mysterious project on Eastern Island—Michael’s forgotten past begins to resurface.

There, he meets Trudy— a defiant computer scientist and the only atheist in a paradise that runs on belief. She’s discovered a threat buried in the source code of Heaven itself… and all signs point to Michael being the key to stopping it—or destroying everything.

This isn’t the Fall you’ve heard about. It’s the one that rewrites everything. Heaven is about to get a reboot.

Upstate NY, 1933. When Clara Dawson learns of her estranged father's death, she’s relieved to close that chapter of her life for good. But as his only child, Clara unexpectedly inherits Hollowfield House, a remote inn at the edge of a small town that she didn’t even know existed. Selling it could help her escape her mounting financial troubles, but first, she must confront the chilling mysteries that haunt its halls.

Arriving at Hollowfield, Clara is unnerved by eerie encounters that leave her questioning her sanity—a mysterious locket, an unsigned letter, and the apparition of a young woman who seems tied to the inn's dark history. As these unsettling incidents escalate, Clara begins to suspect that her father's death may not have been as straightforward as she was led to believe.

Her search for answers draws her into the tangled web of the inn’s haunted past, revealing a truth more sinister than she could have imagined. Someone—or something—is determined to keep the past buried, and they will stop at nothing to silence Clara before she uncovers the truth of Hollowfield House.
