  • Love awakens an old wound in a gifted artist haunted by trauma and PTSD. On the edge of despair, he fights to reclaim both his love and his dream of painting. To do so, he must face the past he has spent years avoiding-and decide whether creation can become an act of healing, or the last thing he has left.
