Time fractures. A girl arrives in 1991 Cardiff claiming to be from the future. She meets the Manic Street Preachers before the myth is written. before the loss, before the rot. Richey falls. James fights. Nicky remembers. And she disappears.

This is the beginning. The first spark.
The version of history they were never meant to keep.
