FearghalLorcan
When twenty-nine-year-old Edgar Conner's band collapses and his life stalls in the wreckage, he ends up behind the bar at a dim little place called The Lighthouse. One late night, while wiping down empty glasses and nursing a bruised ego, he meets Mia Presley - a freelance photographer with a quiet intensity and a camera bag full of secrets.
Their connection sparks in fragments - coffee after shifts, late walks by the waterfront, shared exhaustion and half-meant laughter. But beneath the growing closeness runs the ache of two people who have learned to protect themselves more than they've ever learned to love.
When old fears resurface, Mia pulls away, leaving Edgar to face the silence he's always tried to outrun. Music becomes his only language again - raw, stripped down, painfully honest. His songs reach her before his words do, and soon both realize what they had wasn't dependency; it was balance.
Months later, they find each other again - older in quiet ways, steadier in fragile ones. Through art and sound, they rebuild something not perfect, but real: a love that doesn't rescue or consume, only holds steady through the weight of living.
Set in a modern cityscape of rain-soaked nights, dim bars, and unspoken apologies, Unsteady is a story about learning that being broken isn't failure - it's human. And sometimes, the bravest thing two people can do is stand side by side, unsteady, but together.
