Riley Hart has spent a long time trying to convince herself that she has everything under control.
Then she arrives at Alder Hollow.
A residential treatment center full of strangers, fluorescent lights, uncomfortable conversations, and far too many people who seem determined to notice the things Riley would rather keep hidden.
And then there's Milo Perkins.
He's a psychology intern with a terrible habit of helping everyone except himself. Too earnest. Too kind. Too persistent.
Exactly the kind of person Riley doesn't need.
Or at least, that's what she tells herself.
As Riley fights through recovery and the parts of herself she's spent years avoiding, Milo slowly discovers that being there for someone doesn't mean knowing how to save them.
Somewhere between awkward conversations, bad jokes, difficult days, unexpected friendships, and moments neither of them knows what to do with, something begins to change.
But recovery isn't a straight line.
Neither is love.
And neither Riley nor Milo can keep pretending that being needed is the same thing as being okay.
NO PARACHUTE is a Parachute (2024) AU about recovery, messy people, unexpected connections, and learning that sometimes the hardest thing you can do is let yourself be helped.
You don't have to know the movie to fall into Alder Hollow.
But if you do...
you already know some of these people.
You just don't know what happens to them here.
