Philip Holden - Waster

A tense, character-driven drama unfolds in the shadows of a coastal town where quiet routines hide fractured loyalties. A hardened laborer toils through grueling days, his weary hands telling stories no sermon can mend. When a chance encounter with a restless stranger upends the shell of his ordinary life, old debts and buried resentments surface, drawing two men into a precarious reckoning. As the tension tightens, small gestures—an offering, a misread signal, a single act of mercy—reverberate through a fragile web of friendships, family, and duty. The line between sacrifice and stubborn pride becomes dangerously blurred, testing each man’s resolve.
