An introvert at heart, Elliot is more apt at observing and making commentary on the lives of those around him, analyzing everything to a fault, without actually making an attempt to live his own.  Enter Astrid; the impulsive and whimsical, daring and most passionate risk in his life who shows him that living in the moment has more rewards than he previously thought possible.  However when Astrid leaves on an impromptu backpacking trip across the country with her best friend who has returned from Europe, with two male friends in tow, Elliot finds his world in ruin and is thrust back into the monotony that he once found to be routine.

After suffering a concussion and having his extremely charming, wealthy and equally estranged cousin come to live with him, Elliot finds himself rediscovering a bond that once held them together.  After seeing Elliot avoid this moment in his life like he has so many others, his cousin decides to take them across the country in search of Astrid, and in search of the answers that Elliot seeks about what part she may play in his future, if any.

The Edge Of Silence

22 parts Complete Mature

Haekun and Eliott navigate the complexities of love and secrecy in a world that isn't always accepting. Haekun, the quiet bookworm, finds himself drawn to Eliott, the charismatic new student with a smile that lights up the room. As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, they must confront their fears and desires, balancing their longing for acceptance with the need to stay true to themselves. But when tragedy strikes and their love is tested, they must find the strength to hold onto each other in the face of overwhelming grief. Set against the backdrop of a small town where secrets abound, "The Edge of Silence" is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the power of connection.
