A photographer named Kirk Voclain (me) spots a code in an ordinary image, and the discovery turns personal fast. The clues lead straight to the Superdome in New Orleans. Ridge Samuel is a name tied to a passport that shouldn’t exist, but somehow carries Kirk’s face. Then the lines between photographer and subject start to blur.

As Kirk digs deeper, the story begins to act like it’s alive, revealing details it shouldn’t know and pulling him toward a force lurking behind the scenes, the Architect. What started as a clever puzzle becomes a fight for identity and control, because someone isn’t just watching Kirk, they’re rewriting him.

Code in the Grain is a quick, twisty thriller where photography, identity, and power collide.
