Green

In a world bleached of color and hope, Earl spends his days repairing a dying land in Nebraska—clinging to the bitterness he knows. But when a vibrant stranger named Bird offers a taste of something sweet and mentions a place where the world is still green, Earl is forced to face the silence of his father’s empty chair. Will he keep winding a dead man’s watch, or finally drive toward a new horizon?

Desolate. Stagnant. Yearning. Resilient
