In neon-drenched Eito City, the noodles are mediocre, the rain never ends, and time-traveling operatives tweak the past for the highest bidder. But when a man from the past is murdered in the present, history ripples, leaving three unlikely friends to chase a moment stolen from time.

Nash, a time-traveling swordsman trying to honor his famous father’s legacy, finds his mother maimed by monsters that before the ripple, had been extinct.

His partner, Darkly, thinks the murderer’s real target wasn’t a person, but a critical moment erased by the victim’s death. Unfortunately no one will believe a gutter rat from Undertow, even if he is a genius.

Princess Charluxa harbors a chilling secret: she sees ghosts. Now she has to confront the possibility that her ghosts may be the key to finding the vanished moment, along with the truth about her supernatural sight.

But in a city of a thousand colors, nothing is black and white. The longer solving the murder takes, the more the broken timeline feels like the real one.

If the trio changes time to fix time…will that make them the moment thieves?
