Samenvatting:

Dr. Julian Vane is the "Mind-Mender," an elite psychologist at the peak of his career—until a ghost from his past returns with a rusted revolver and a terrifying message. Surviving a near-fatal shooting, Julian is left with a persistent limp and a reality that is rapidly decompressing into a chaotic blizzard of electronic noise. Everything he has built—his marriage, his reputation, his sanity—is at risk as the boundary between the living and the forgotten begins to dissolve.

A new patient, eight-year-old Cole Miller, sees the same "static" figures and bears the physical bruises of their touch. Together, they must navigate the "Rooms Without Doors," uncovering a dark history of clinical negligence and trapped souls buried beneath the Gothic spires of Edinburgh.

As the city's heart begins to desynchronize, a towering entity known as the Static Man prepares to turn the world into a permanent frequency of pain.

When the final witness speaks, will the truth set the city free, or will the noise swallow them all?
