Split Second

Axel Johnston had everything once: a way out, a boyfriend, and a family who believed in him.

Now he has hangovers, half-remembered nights, and a town that knows him too well. As his drinking worsens and his relationships fracture under the weight of old trauma, Axel begins to fear he's becoming exactly who he swore he'd never be.

After a stint in rehab, Axel dares to hope he can rebuild his life and win back the person he loves. But trust, once broken, doesn't come easily, and some damage can't be outrun.

Set in a small mining town in Western Australia, this is a story about addiction, family, love, and what happens when running is no longer an option
