Bethelman awakens on a bustling New York corner with no recollection of the past two weeks. A quick call to his editor reveals a puzzling Friday that shouldn’t exist, and a mysterious note written in his own hand urges him to “investigate” and head to a place called Marco’s. Disoriented, he discovers a fresh hat, extra cash, and a lingering sense that something crucial has slipped through the cracks of his memory.

As the city hums around him, Bethelman pieces together fragments of a conversation with a biochemist about the nature of time, wondering if he’s been thrust into an impossible experiment. The note’s warning—to stay unnoticed and avoid a “booby bin”—suggests a hidden danger lurking behind his missing days. With curiosity outweighing caution, he decides to follow the cryptic instructions, hoping the answers lie just beyond the bar’s polished glass.

The story unfolds as a tense, cerebral mystery, blending urban noir with speculative intrigue, and invites listeners to join Bethelman on a quest to reclaim the lost pieces of his own timeline.
