Just Between Us: Before The Flames

Just Between Us: Before The Flames follows Dave from childhood into early adulthood, told through his eyes as he tries to make sense of the world around him. He's growing up in a place that doesn't always make things easy, carrying the weight of stuff he understands too young, and feelings he doesn't have the words for yet. Through late night bike rides, quiet corners, and the moments no one else sees, Dave's trying to figure out who he is, and who he's allowed to become.

Everything changes when he meets Mike. What starts as a simple friendship turns into something deeper, shaped by family, friendship, loyalty, and all the blurry lines in between. Their shared pain pulls them closer, strengthening a bond neither of them expected. It's not about who they grow up to be that matters, but the roads they take to get there. This is the story of everything that comes before, the memories they carry, the heartbreaks they survive, the small victories that shape them, and the spark inside Mike that Dave sees long before the rest of the world!
