Laura Sheridan stands between these two worlds, drawn in by beauty yet unsettled by something she can't quite name. A hat, a voice, a fleeting hesitation—small moments that carry unexpected weight. Can innocence survive once you glimpse what lies outside the gates?

In a world that has moved on, two men sit in the shadows of the past. One, frail and forgetful, speaks of things best left unsaid.
