Folklore is a haunting story of love, loss, and reckoning, told over fifteen years through the intertwined voices of Betty, James, and Augustine.
James, once full of reckless hope, spirals into addiction but now he's taking control of his demons, returning to his hometown and trying to fix the broken wings of the girl he loved.
Betty is struggling through the slow collapse of her own marriage when James crashes back into her life, raw and reaching for something he can't name.
As they circle each other, haunted by the ghosts of who they were and who they could have been, Betty and James must confront whether love is enough to heal the wounds they carry-or whether some scars are too deep to fade.
Folklore is a bittersweet exploration of the love we lose, the love we find, and the stories that live on long after we are gone.
