A Song for Ezra (ONC 2021)(manxman)✅

ONC 2021 SHORTLISTER.

An orphan at ten years old, Ezra Green spends the next fifteen years guilt-stricken and yearning to be with his parents again. In addition to the guilt and sense of abandonment, a mental health disorder affects his life in a way that prevents him from reaching his full potential and letting go of the past and things he cannot change. He navigates his world through music, sent over the edge whenever his life strays away from his well-organized playlist.

Levi Blum, a twenty-eight year old musician, challenges Ezra and his way of thinking. Unexpectedly, their blossoming, yet somewhat volatile, friendship turns into something far greater.
