A Filipinx-American bookseller with a passion for tabletop roleplaying and streaming games, Norah has carved out a safe space to cope. With her best friend Mateo rising as a YouTube makeup artist and her sprawling blended family by her side, she's managed to keep her grief hidden—until her birthday.
When her grandfather, lost in the fog of Alzheimer’s, forgets who her father is at the family party, it cracks open a hidden fracture in Norah’s world. Her father’s shocking reaction sets him on a journey to the open road, leaving Norah desperate to save him.
But she keeps his departure a secret, even from Mateo. While searching for answers, Norah begins to believe her ex is sending her signs from the cosmos—signs that guide her toward Russell Maverick, an old friend who’s just returned from his own travels. Together, they ignite an unexpected connection, bonding over deep conversations about mental health, generational trauma, and their shared desire to heal and save the world.
As the pull of the past tugs her deeper, Norah is drawn into a world of 80s nostalgia, dreamy bookstores, shimmering harbors, and neon-lit arcades. And as she waits for her father’s return, she discovers the most unexpected journey of all: the path to saving herself.
