Publisher Description:

Relive the past. Rewrite your future. Regret your choices.

If your memories make you who you are, then what happens when you change them?
Nick frequents a bar to drink away his pain. The separation from his wife and inability to see his 5-year-old daughter is too much to bear.

He meets Rachel, an expert billiards player who accepts bets from unsuspecting men who naively believe they can outplay her.

Sensing Nick’s hopelessness, Rachel offers solace to his present struggles. She convinces him to join her, along with other shattered souls, at the elusive Parlor—a dark and foreboding place located in an abandoned warehouse.

Swallowing one pill enables Nick to re-experience a memory complete with sound, touch, smell and emotion. He gets hooked on this enticing, bittersweet escape.

What harm can come from reliving the good times in his mind?

Rachel reveals her attempt to deal with a past trauma by manipulating its memory adding a haunting layer to the seductive escape.

Might that be a solution for Nick’s own woes or will it evolve into a nightmarish end?
