• Ep. 1
  Ezra Lowe, a young man new to the workforce, finds himself in a surreal situation after boarding a train bound for an unknown destination. As he settles in, he experiences a vivid dream where a dangerous figure takes control of the train, threatening anyone who dares to resist. Startled awake, Ezra realizes the man from his dream is real and standing right in front of him. Confused and frightened, he begins to question whether the dream was a premonition. Suddenly, a mysterious system activates within him, revealing its ability to predict future events. The system warns him of the risks: if he dies during a prediction, the simulation will end abruptly, and using the ability twice in a row will trigger a four-hour cooldown. Ezra grapples with the implications, realizing the earlier vision might not have been a dream but a glimpse of what’s to come. Panicked, he decides to leave the train, pushing through the crowded platform. Passengers grow frustrated as he insists on getting off, but Ezra is determined to escape the unfolding nightmare.
