Mariner

Mariner follows Declan Emory in the raw, unsteady aftermath of losing his best friend, Cecil—a loss that leaves him drowning in grief and unable to face the familiar places and people that constantly remind him of what he’s lost. With each day feeling heavier than the last, Declan makes the life-altering decision to leave it all behind and move to a sunny island, far from the city streets, memories, and ghosts that cling to him. Alone—without his parents or the comfort of the world he once knew—he’s forced to navigate an unfamiliar place where the sea is both isolating and strangely comforting.

There, he stumbles into the world of the island’s high school volleyball team, a sport he hasn’t played in years, and finds himself drawn back into the rhythm of the game. What begins as a distraction slowly becomes a lifeline, pulling him into new friendships and moments of joy he thought were gone forever. As he learns to build a new life from nothing, Declan must confront the haunting memories he tried to escape, form tentative connections with strangers who might become something more, and discover whether starting over can truly quiet the storms inside him. Mariner is a story about grief, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to set sail toward an uncertain horizon.
