Description
What if the end of your life wasn't the end at all—just a choice?
Eighty-three-year-old Alex Carter is dying. But as his family gathers around his hospital bed, another world presses against the edges of his fading vision: a silent gray Room he has slipped into since he was a teenager. In its center waits a single black button.
Press it, and the universe ends.
Press it, and Alex begins again—young, alive, and utterly alone in a brand-new reality.
Press it, and everyone he loves disappears forever.
Across a lifetime of joy, heartbreak, and impossible loss, Alex has resisted the Reset's pull. But now, as visions of past Resetters appear to him—some pleading, some warning, all broken in their own ways—the line between memory and destiny fractures.
The button promises escape. It also promises annihilation.
Alex faces the most devastating choice of his life: Reset the universe for another chance… or stay in the only world where his family exists, even if it means letting it continue without him.
A haunting, emotional, and mind-bending journey through memory, choice, and the fragility of a single human life, RESET asks: If you could start over, would you? And what would it cost?
