Down into the Sea

Eric Ross, a fourteen-year-old boy, faces overwhelming challenges as he navigates a turbulent life marked by family turmoil. With his father incarcerated for murder and his mother slipping into despair, Eric grapples with feelings of isolation and uncertainty. He often finds solace in the ocean, where the waves become both a refuge and a metaphor for his inner turmoil.

As he plunges deeper into the vastness of the sea, Eric embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting his fears and the shadows of his family's past. The depths of the water mirror his emotional state, and through his experiences, he seeks understanding, acceptance, and a way to reclaim his identity in a world that feels increasingly chaotic.
