Dead Summer

No one ever asks what happens when you fail to become anything at all.

Natel spends his days shut inside a life that feels frozen: a father he can barely communicate with, a brother who is little more than a stranger, studies left half-finished, and the constant feeling that he is wasting his time. The only thing that truly makes him feel alive is an old abandoned seaside resort, a place forgotten by everyone where he goes to isolate himself from the world.

Or at least, that's what he believes.

When Danis-charming, impulsive, and self-destructive-discovers the place with him, the two find something hidden behind a door that shouldn't have been there: a perfectly functioning plantation in the heart of the abandoned building.

What initially feels like nothing more than temptation slowly turns into obsession.

Danis sees money.
Natel sees a way out.

And while Tony desperately tries to keep the group out of trouble and Vito lets himself get pulled along just to avoid losing the people he clings to, the four of them begin to step into a world far bigger and more dangerous than they ever imagined.

Because the resort isn't empty.
It never was.

Someone will come back to claim what belongs to them.

And when that happens, friendships will start to break, secrets will come to light, and each character will be forced to decide how far they are willing to go for money, belonging, and survival.

Between motionless summers, family silences, slowly building tension, and wrong decisions made one step at a time, Vista Mare tells the exact moment when four boys stop feeling invincible.

And realize too late that some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
