Keiran, a homeless young boy, awakens in a frigid alley, numbed by hunger and cold. The city around him is a haunting fusion of steel and stone, where time itself seems to have stalled at the looming, broken clocktower. Desperate for warmth and food, he stumbles into a Café, where his gaze lingers on a man in a black leather coat. When the man leaves, Keiran seizes the opportunity, stealing the abandoned coat—only to discover a mysterious card hidden within,As he processes its meaning, two ominous figures in matching coats appear, watching him. Before he can flee, a gunshot rings out, and pain sears through his body. As his vision darkens, the last thing he sees is the clocktower—forever stuck at 2:56 AM.
