Sleepless nights, lost in despair and her own mind, drive her to the edge. Until Landon appears.

As he extends small gestures of comfort, Ellie feels a sliver of hope-a desire to break free, not just physically, but from the weight of her past. Together, they explore the fragile territory between isolation and connection, as she dares to trust someone again. But facing the outside world and the scars that remain will demand courage Ellie isn't sure she has left.

Locked Away, Left Behind is a tale of survival, hope, and the ghosts that keep us chained-even when the door finally opens.
