Butterflies in Stormy Skies

When fiction blurs with memory, truth can be its own redemption.

In a quiet seaside care home, a retired detective begins to write a novel. The story is fiction… or so he says. But as two young care workers read his manuscript, they begin to suspect the past is not so fictional and its echoes still linger.

The novel within the novel follows a troubled young family under siege from a violent father, and the detective who risks everything to protect them. As the lines between the imagined and the real blur, a new bond forms between the old man and his unexpected readers and together, they find a reason to believe in second chances.

Heartfelt, suspenseful, and quietly profound, Butterflies in Stormy Skies is a tender portrait of how storytelling can heal, and how even the darkest memories can point the way toward light.
