The dead machine

Author's name: Dina Heikal

Youssef and Zain receive a message from their old friend Adam, inviting them to meet him soon. The messages were surprising, but they were a hook that could pull them out of their trapped, monotonous lives. Adam asks them to work with him on an old dream of theirs: an invention that promises a revolution that will change the concept of achieving justice; the justice they never found in their past. A machine that will give the dead one last chance to reveal their secrets. But their quest will lead to a chain of chaos as they are forced to confront the repercussions of their actions, the ambitions of others, and an unexpected enemy. The lines between right and wrong, truth and fiction, blur until the very concept of justice is distorted and they find themselves facing a moral dilemma. How many sacrifices will the machine demand in order to reach the truth and achieve justice? Is there a limit to the price they will pay for it? Another person in another time will face the same dilemma. His encounter with the Death Machine will lead him down a dark, perilous path that threatens his life, but he is the only one who can bring justice to the victim of a suspicious murder. Two different times, same questions, but will they reach the same end?
