Johannesburg has a heartbeat. Someone has learned to control it.
Nineteen-year-old Franklin Donaldson repairs electronics for a living, trusting logic, patterns, and predictable outcomes. Then an unexplained delivery introduces him to J2P, a mysterious cognitive interface that grants him glimpses of the future. Suddenly, the city's traffic, technology, and human behaviour begin synchronising around an intelligence far beyond his understanding.
With his brilliant sister Emily beside him, Franklin must confront a terrifying truth: the system observing him is not the only force at work. As prediction becomes a weapon, humanity's future may depend on one young man doing the unthinkable-proving the system wrong.
Two minds. One city. An unpredictable future.
