Mina has always seen the world through a lens-literally. With her camera, she captures the small, fleeting moments that others overlook: a shared glance, a nervous laugh, a secret argument. To her, life is best understood frame by frame, yet her own emotions remain unrecorded, hidden behind the viewfinder.
As she navigates her final year of high school, Mina finds herself entangled in the complicated dynamics of friendship, loyalty, and unspoken desire. Leo, her charismatic but flawed friend, draws her in with a mix of charm and recklessness, while Siena, his seemingly perfect partner, embodies a confidence Mina both admires and envies. Into this delicate balance steps Ian, a quiet, observant transfer student who sees Mina-not just through the camera, but for who she truly is.
Through her documentary project, Mina learns the power of observation, the weight of truth, and the courage it takes to confront feelings she has long hidden. As secrets unravel and relationships shift, she discovers that capturing life on film is not enough; sometimes, she must step out from behind the camera to live it.
Playback is a tender, introspective story about friendship, first love, self-discovery, and the delicate art of seeing-and being seen.

My first love
I took a deep breath. "I know you know," I said. My voice was barely a whisper. The words felt huge in the quiet room. Luca tilted his head. "Know what, Iris?" His eyes searched my face. "My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known. But saying it out loud it burned. I stayed still. My eyes stung. ************ He broke her heart once. This time, he'll destroy anyone who tries to break hers. At twenty-two, Iris Darlington finally has her life moving in the right direction. A dream job. Amazing friends. A future she built without anyone's help. Especially not Luca Whitmore. The man who shattered her teenage heart. The man she's spent years trying to forget. But avoiding Luca becomes impossible when fate throws them back into each other's lives. Because Luca isn't the same man she remembers. He's colder. More powerful. More dangerous. And the way he looks at her now makes it clear that forgetting her was never an option. As old feelings ignite and buried secrets come to light, Iris finds herself caught between the life she's worked so hard to build and the man who could tear down every wall around her heart. In Manhattan, power is everything. Love is weakness. And Luca Whitmore is willing to become a monster if it means keeping Iris safe. Even from himself.
