Plot
Stef has not left her house in a long time, struggling with the loss of her brother, Liam, and an overwhelming fear of the outside world. When Evan, Liam's best friend, arrives to give her Liam's journal, the two form an unexpected connection. As they confront their shared grief, they begin to question whether their bond is built on healing or simply their past. Torn between Evan's vision of the world beyond her walls and the story of lost love she is translating from a previous generation, Stef must decide what kind of future she wants—and whether Evan has a place in it.[10][11]
