Liminal: existing in the space between what was and what will be.
Charlotte grew up thinking her four older brothers were just overprotective- hovering, smothering, always one step behind her. They raised her, loved her, and built a life meant to keep her safe. But as she's gotten older, the cracks are getting harder to ignore.
Hushed arguments behind closed doors. A mother who drifts in and out of her life with shaking hands. A father she can't remember- because no one will tell her why.
The rules she once accepted without question start to feel like wall, and the silence she grew up with starts to grow louder.
As she pieces together fragments of her childhood that she was never meant to uncover, she realizes her brothers aren't just protecting her from the world. They're protecting her from the truth- a truth that shattered their family once, and could shatter her when she finally discovers it.
