Delve into an insipidly dark journey, of shadowed craggy healing, between two wayward souls encapsulated in mourning, against the backdrop of rural Georgia countryside … Cessa and Tucker’s bohemian-esque tale is uniquely woven together with the combination of descriptive and scenic imagery. And told from both of their unique point-of-views with a bold, unflinching vulnerability, that is sure to leave you desperately craving more. Celeste ‘Cessa’ Huxley, has only known a life of exceptional privilege, due to her upbringing in Upper Manhattan, New York City. She’s used to living in a luxury high-rise penthouse built by her paternal grandfather, and having the very best of everything that money can buy. Even her two best friends are fabulously wealthy and rather snobbish like her. But when both her parents and younger brother are all tragically killed after a drunk driver slams into their vehicle, Cessa, wakes to find a nick-beaked raven at her hospital room window when she learns that she is the sole survivor of her known family, and that the only family she still apparently has are an estranged aunt and cousin, whom she’s never meant. Despite inheriting her parent’s immense wealth, Cessa, makes the decision to move down to Bishop, Georgia to her aunt’s farm, rather than battle-out emancipation in the courts. It’s only two years, right? No big deal. Tucker ‘Tuck’ Calloway, has only ever known his family’s 20-acre farm in the two-bit countryside of Bishop, Georgia. He’s grown up lending a helping hand around the farm, while trying to make up for all of his shortcomings with his Ma. But when his Pa passed away two years back, he left high school behind and set to work, seeing to the farm, while his grieving Ma wasted away on the couch drinking herself to death. In those two years, nothing much has changed and he goes about the same, solitary routines. Taking care of the crops and livestock, and riding his Pa-gifted horse, Padio. Until, he gets a call that seeks to turn everything on its head. Cessa and Tuck fail to get along from the second she arrives. Their personalities clash. He thinks of her as a ‘Princess’ and she thinks of him as a ‘Lowlife.’ Until one emotionally charged incident catapults them together in the most unlikely of ways. She finds there’s more to Tuck’s outward persona than meets the eye. It’s like there’s this familiar darkness in him that she’s seen once before, but she sealed the memory away in places she doesn’t think about. And he finds solace in her, despite the unworthiness he feels deep down. Along with this remote, burning fear that he carries. The fear, that she is someday going to leave him—and all of this—behind, for good. Or worse, he'll do something to ruin it himself, like he has every other good thing he's ever had. Can these two wayward souls find a way to even out their torrid pasts and pave a way for their long-term futures? Or are the things from their past bound to destroy the messy acheful thing they’ve somehow built together? And somewhere in it all, why can't Cess seem to shake the feeling that this nick-beaked raven is following her for a darker purpose? A reminder purpose?
