Splicer

1 | Collision of Worlds

Cass is a directionless student until she meets Nikky, an ethereal stranger who feels like a literal bolt of lightning. Their instant connection is shattered during their first date when Cass realizes Nikky is a fugitive fleeing government agents for “supernatural” reasons. Rather than retreating to her mundane life, Cass chooses the unknown, vanishing with Nikky into the American Southwest.

2 | The Braid of Space and Time

As two Special Agents—Connelly and Chen—track the girls through the country to “contain the anomaly,” Cass and Nikky’s bond becomes their only constant. As their romance deepens, Nikky begins to reveal the staggering scope of her transtemporal nature, blurring the lines of Cass’s reality. The tension boils over at a crowded swimming hole when an act of aggression against Cass causes Nikky to lose her grip. The resulting “splice” is a devastating display of power that leaves the landscape—and the history of those present—forever altered. Cass realizes that while Nikky is her protector, she is also a force of nature capable of unmaking existence itself.

3 | The Final Stitch 

Cornered by the agents and under the glare of their floodlights, Cass and Nikky are forced to run, hide and fight their way to safety. But will Nikky’s powers be their salvation or the very thing that fatally tears them apart? 

Finale

To protect the human she loves, Nikky makes the ultimate sacrifice: she rewrites their history. In a final, tearful embrace, she whispers a vow of eternal remembrance before unleashing a “transtemporal energy frame” that resets Cass’s life to a point in which she never met Nikky. The agents lose their target as reality resets—but the stitch isn’t perfect. While Cass’s past is wiped of Nikky, her biology has been “spliced.” Nikky is gone, but her power now lives inside the girl who was supposed to be “normal.”
