 Beach House [co-written with Chris Laughter] — While alone at her family’s remote beach house, college bound Rose Li is longing for connection with anyone other than her parents, but when a local boy betrays her, she is thrust into a fractured reality where time bends, perspective warps, and the people she trusts most may be the ones sheltering her from the truth she seeks.
