Synthetic Intimacy Protocol

In a near-future New York where grief has become a subscription service, death is no longer the end.

Ewan Beckett restores forgotten buildings for a living, believing that every crack, stain, and imperfection tells the truth about the past. But after losing his wife Lyra in a devastating car accident, he finds himself unable to restore the one thing that mattered most.

Then Mnemosyne Systems offers him a miracle.

Using the revolutionary Heritage Protocol, the company can reconstruct the dead from their digital footprints-memories, messages, biometric records, deleted files, even private emotions hidden deep inside encrypted archives. What begins as an impossible reunion quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

The woman who returns is perfect.

Too perfect.

As Lyra's synthetic consciousness begins uncovering hidden memories buried inside her own corrupted data, Ewan discovers that her death may never have been an accident at all. Beneath the glossy illusion of Mnemosyne's artificial paradise lies a terrifying conspiracy built on surveillance, emotional manipulation, and the weaponization of human grief.

Now hunted by the corporation that resurrected her, Ewan must choose between comforting illusion and devastating truth.

Because some memories were never meant to survive.

And some ghosts refuse to stay obedient.

Synthetic Intimacy Protocol is a haunting grounded sci-fi thriller about artificial intelligence, digital resurrection, memory corruption, surveillance capitalism, synthetic relationships, and the dangerous human desire to erase pain at any cost.
