“everyone has layers…”
FBI Agent Luisa Amato is forced to navigate a tangled legacy in a city that never forgets.
When a new assignment pulls FBI Agent Luisa Amato back to her childhood hometown of NYC, she finds herself at the crossroads of law enforcement and organized crime.
As layered parallel narratives unravel a multigenerational story of choices, and their outcomes, we stumble upon and must confront a universal question- what do we choose to do next, and why?
about the story’s style
The goal? To make you think… about a lot of things.
This story is comprised of two different timelines, sort of like parallel narratives— the past, which depicts everything from Luisa’s familial mob origins to coveted childhood vacations, and the present, where Luisa is unraveling decades’ worth of secrets, loyalties, and betrayals, and navigating the fine line between keeping her alias safe, and her family alive.
This means that this story can be read a few different ways:
Through and through: The chapters alternate in timelines. Reading the story through and through is a hand-crafted experience, revealing clues and foresight while you’re at the edge of your seat.
Chronologically: tells a bit of a different story and takes another revolutionary twist on storytelling, as reading half of the “ending” after finishing only half the book is definitely not the norm.
This story will also feature a listen-along soundtrack featuring niche artists and a custom mix.
