Unblurred
Autumn Berry never planned on becoming a new version of herself. She only wanted to disappear quietly, far away from the high school halls that haunted her, and from the truth she uncovered that no one believed. Northbridge College, sleepy and unfamiliar, felt like a place where her past couldn’t reach her.
She promised herself a simple life: go to class, avoid trouble, make no noise.
But Autumn has a secret that refuses to stay quiet.
Her memory doesn’t let her forget anything. Faces, conversations, tiny details most people ignore—she sees it all, and it stays, whether she wants it to or not. It once helped her see something she shouldn’t have seen. It once cost her everything.
She isn’t here to solve anything anymore. She’s here to breathe.
That plan lasts until she crosses paths with the Northbridge Detective Club, a small student group who treats campus mysteries like they’re training for real crime work. Missing dorm keys, stolen notes, sabotaged group projects, strange messages on bulletin boards—they jump into every case with too much enthusiasm and not enough caution.
They notice Autumn right away. More importantly, they notice the way she observes things without trying, how she reads people at a glance, how her eyes linger a little too long like she’s piecing something together.
Even when she tries to stay away, cases keep sliding toward her. And each time she solves one, she feels the world she escaped creeping closer again.
Soon, harmless campus puzzles start connecting to something darker. Familiar patterns return. Someone seems to know who she is, and what she ran from. Strange messages appear. And memories she wanted to bury start waking up again.
Autumn came to Northbridge to forget.
But someone else came to make sure she remembers.
Now she has to navigate school life, new friendships she didn’t ask for, and a mind that never shuts off, while slowly realizing that the past she tried to outrun is waiting patiently in the shadow—watching, planning, and ready to finish what it started.
The truth she escaped is inching closer, case by case.
And when the final piece falls into place, Autumn must confront the chilling possibility:
The mastermind destroying her life…
is already here in Northbridge.
And this time, she isn’t the only one in danger.
