Between the Tracks

For sixteen-year-old Thomas, music isn't just a hobby-it's a shield. Navigating high school behind a wall of sound keeps the static of his social anxiety and past abandonment at bay. He's mastered the art of staying invisible, convinced that building a world around yourself is safer than risking a temporary tenant. But a single late-night invitation changes everything. Thrust into the bright, unscripted reality of late-night diners and hallway conversations with Maya, Thomas discovers that connection requires vulnerability. As the lines between his safe solitude and the unpredictable world blur, he has to decide whether protecting his heart is worth missing out on the one person who makes him want to listen.
