Jeff Chandler doesn't believe in magic towns-until he drives off a forgotten road and finds one that resets every Monday at 6:59 a.m. The week plays perfectly... until Saturday, when a blast from the munitions plant erases everything. At night the townspeople vanish mid-step. Roads out bend back on themselves. Only two places survive the fire: the lake...and the pit beneath the bus depot.Somewhere inside this loop is the fracture that broke Betty's life five years ago. Her best friend, Amanda, was supposed to leave town with her on Monday-until she stepped off the bus for a jacket. Jeff tries to fix it the obvious way: he boards the bus with Amanda. The town retaliates. Reality buckles. People die harder. Wrong move.The only way out is the cruel one: keep Amanda on the bus and take her place at the hotel. Jeff has eight minutes-from the honest minute of waking to the moment the doors fold shut-to make the correction, then endure a week he knows will end in fire. He builds a gift: factory documents to clear a father's name, money to start over, two matching shells for the friends who were split apart...and a GoPro filled with the beauty of a storybook town that never existed outside the loop.If he succeeds, Betty gets her future back. If he fails, the town resets-and Jeff wakes again at 6:59.Eight minutes to save her. One week to pay the price
