Interlinked (2026)

Still haunted by the echoes of childhood bullying, JJ wrestles with the anger and loneliness that have trailed him into adult life. Pushing his body to the brink while navigating the relentless pulse of the city, he stumbles into an unexpected shelter—Layla, a presence that offers warmth, closeness, and a chance at mending old wounds. Yet as memory begins to bleed into the present, the fragile calm JJ has pieced together starts to unravel. Moments loop, emotions spiral, and the boundary between what was and what is grows hazier by the day. Caught in a fractured journey of rage, vulnerability, and aching desire, JJ is forced to face the pieces of himself he has long tried to bury. Layer by layer, the truth behind his struggle surfaces—unveiling a devastating story of trauma, distorted perception, and the mind’s fragile defenses when pain goes unheard.
