[edit] Plot

A woman (Carla Mollencami) is hired to work in a private library. She soon discovers that the books document the lives of everyone alive, updated instantly and in the smallest detail. She discovers an "editing" room where books go when people die, or have major changes in their life. Suddenly, she gets an idea: she can edit the books of her friends, and better their lives. What she does not take into account is that everyone's life affects the lives of others like ripples in a pond, and meddling will have unforeseen consequences.
