In a world where everyone can jump through time three times in their life, Yasin Al-Razi never used a single jump.
As a clockmaker in a close-knit Muslim community, Yasin has built his life around patience, faith, and the wisdom his father left him: that some knowledge belongs only to God. While everyone around him bears the dark rings that mark their jumps-glimpses of futures seen, pasts revisited-Yasin's hands remain unmarked.
When Layla bursts into his shop with her father's broken pocket watch, everything changes. Her father used his final jump to witness a catastrophe forty years in the future: a dam failure that could kill thousands. He died weeks later, leaving behind only cryptic warnings and engineering calculations that no one will believe.
As Yasin and Layla uncover the truth, they discover the disaster isn't forty years away-it's six weeks. A massive storm is coming, and the dam's structural weaknesses make failure almost inevitable. But without proof from a jump, how can they convince the authorities to act?
While Layla struggles with the temptation to use her final jump to witness what her father saw, Yasin faces his own crisis. When his mother collapses and doctors give her fifty-fifty odds of survival, the temptation to jump forward forty-eight hours-to simply know-becomes almost unbearable.
In those darkest hours, Yasin must choose: Will he finally use a jump to gain certainty? Or will he trust in something larger than himself-remaining fully present in each moment, even when the future is terrifyingly uncertain?
UNMARKED is a contemplative exploration of faith, family, and the courage it takes to live without knowing what comes next. In a world obsessed with glimpsing the future, one man discovers that the bravest act might be to keep walking forward, one moment at a time.
