Serah runs Vinyl Moon Records, a sanctuary of order after years of her mother's cruelty convinced her she'd never be enough. Her only safe harbor is her found family—Ivanna and Esmeralda, a long-term lesbian couple who run an herbalist shop together. Then Carter walks through her door carrying a record she mentioned once, proof he's been paying attention for months.

Carter is a recording engineer haunted by an ex who destroyed his self-worth. He's been falling for Serah from afar—collecting moments, remembering everything. Their connection deepens through bonfires, punk clubs, and stolen nights on the lake. But when Serah's mother tears Carter apart over dinner, Serah freezes. She can't defend him against the voice that's poisoned her whole life. She tells him to walk away. He does.

Now Serah is alone, the silence deafening. She pushed away the only person who made her feel worthy. Can she find the courage to fight for him? Can she choose love over the familiar pain of isolation? Or will her mother's voice finally win?
