Caelum Hawthorne is a cynic navigating the suffocating structure of a 1970s Catholic boarding school. Her rigid worldview fractures when she meets Elara, sparking an intoxicating love that forces her to question everything she has ever known. To embrace who she truly is, Caelum must risk losing her family, her past, and the heavy safety of conformity. This is a story of self-discovery, the burden of rigid expectations, and a profound love fighting against time itself.
(Inspired by a musical dream I had one night)
