Episode 3: Chapters 7-9

A blistering summer night at the old train station sets the stage for chaos, music, and unexpected connections. Beathan collides with Sadie under the fading sun, Bobby retreats into the solitude of his darkroom, and Owen and Gage grind out riffs in a basement that feels more like home than anywhere else. Between bloodied noses, whispered secrets, and the buzz of guitars, lives drift closer, and further apart, against the relentless backdrop of small-town heat.
