THE SYNOPSIS

Some stories are found. Others find you.

Julz is a writer, and she’s stuck. She’s drowning in an uninteresting project with no soul, and a deadline that won’t throw her a life preserver. Desperate for a spark, she heads to the humid, jazz-soaked streets of New Orleans, a city she loves for its stark contrast to her home along the inland shores of the Pacific Northwest, where majestic driftwood statues stand sentinel.

She expects inspiration. She doesn’t expect him.

Is it by chance or destiny that she meets a mysterious collector of river drift in a coffee shop who tells her a fragment of a story he claims only she is meant to write?

When Julz returns home, the boundary between her life and the stranger’s tale begins to erode. Dreams, peculiar encounters and impossible coincidences haunt her. Time, a tricky fluid acquaintance, eludes her as she drifts between her own reality and what remains an enigma.

What ensues is a tale of humor and horror, adventure and angst, danger and daring, mystery and mayhem, love and tragedy.
