Publisher's summary
Welcome to the Forbidden World. This world has a secret. The problem is that no-one can remember what it is. Time is broken here. Those trapped here must live the same day over and over — forming alliances, lying to each other, trying to escape. Welcome to the Forbidden World.

Plot
On a planet where time is broken, Benny watches a recorded message from herself explaining that she is in a twenty-four-hour time loop and that memories can only be carried from one day to the next via video recordings stored in the Cloud. She meets Foster, who came to make a documentary, Klinus, an artist, and Varna, a scientist who believes that time was damaged by a time bomb. Following the bomb's detonation, Ace explains, the planet was time locked but failed to disappear from history.

The group encounter ghosts that vapourise everything they touch, whom Varna believes to be the rest of the population outside of reality. Despite the loop, those that are killed by the ghosts remain dead. Varna suggests that they find a way to use the exothermic reaction caused by the ghosts to enter the city, which many of them, aside from Ace, believe to be a safe place. Ace also tells Benny not to trust anybody as they are all lying to themselves in the recordings and tries to tell her a secret about Klinus.
