In 10 vignettes, a rough sketch traces Jessie navigating the loss of her first love.

Haunted by her best friend’s overdose, Eden numbs her grief through fleeting intimacy and quiet self-destruction. A sudden call from God pulls her back to the site of the death, where she’s offered a choice that forces her to confront what she’s been avoiding—and what she’s willing to destroy.

In a single, unbroken drift through the night, a solitary figure moves between fragments of life—intimacy, conflict, and celebration—never quite entering any of them.
