Lisa's life has always been dictated by others-stuck working in her family's liquor store and torn between her own dreams of attending beauty school and opening her own salon or giving in to her parents' demands to care for her sisters. Her boyfriend, Julian, offers no support; he's emotionally neglectful, dismissive, and toxic.
As Julian's 25th birthday approaches, Lisa is unexpectedly included in a secret family group chat to help plan his surprise party. Julian's estranged older brother, Eric, returns home for the occasion, and as they work together on the party, Lisa and Eric form an unexpected bond. What begins as a simple collaboration soon turns into late night conversations, shared secrets, and growing feelings.
Eric sees the passion and potential in Lisa that Julian ignores, and he makes a daring offer: leave everything behind-her family, the store, and Julian-to start a new life with him where she can finally pursue her dreams. But with Julian growing suspicious and tensions rising, Lisa must carefully plan her escape.
*Away from Yesterday* is a story of love found in unlikely places, the courage to break free from the past, and the difficult choices that define our futures. Can Lisa truly leave it all behind, or will her old life catch up with her before she has the chance?
