The Setup: Genevieve is the heiress to a vast, silent fortune—estates she never visits and companies she doesn't run. She lives in a sprawling, 19th-century manor that has been retrofitted with invisible, top-tier security. She is never alone, yet she hasn't seen a human face in years. Everything is handled by "The Voice" in the walls.​The Mystery: A man named Silas appears in her house on December 21st. He doesn't break in. He doesn't trigger an alarm. He is simply there, sitting in the library, reading a book that hasn't been touched since her father died.​He claims to be an operative from a "Department of Lost Continuity." He tells her he isn't there to steal her money or her life. He is there because she invited him three years from now.
