It’s a story about loss, and the stamp it leaves on every part of your life. It’s about losing even the trust in yourself—and learning who you are once the rest has been stripped away. It’s about rebuilding or reclaiming what was lost: drawing strength from unexpected places, be it the anchor of found family, the crucible of old wounds, or the conviction born of new purpose.
