Kopuk

A young man returns to a sunlit coastal town, carrying a quiet ache that thinly veils his restless heart. He threads through familiar streets and faces, seeking a fragile sense of belonging while wrestling with memories that refuse to stay buried. In a community of open doors and small betrayals, he forms tenuous connections—an older mentor with stories to tell, a spirited neighbor who sees more than he lets on, and a love interest whose warmth challenges his guarded shell. As summer loosens its grip, chance encounters and candid conversations push him toward a choice: endure the ache, or risk everything for a chance at wholeness.
