Sweet Dandelion Dandelion thinks her worst days are behind her after surviving a school shooting, but moving to a new city for senior year proves that healing isn't linear—especially when nightmares keep dragging her backward. When she's forced into sessions with her school counselor, Lachlan, she finds herself slowly lowering the walls she'd built so carefully around her broken heart. As Lachlan helps her navigate trauma and find reasons to live again, their connection becomes something neither of them saw coming—messy, complicated, and absolutely necessary. This is a tender, unflinching look at recovery and finding light in someone else when you're still learning to find it in yourself.

Haunting indie and soft R&B for navigating trauma and unexpected intimacy. Think Phoebe Bridgers' vulnerability, Daniel Caesar's tenderness, and SZA's sensuality. Acoustic guitars meet slow-burn tension—healing through connection, desire blooming in forbidden spaces, late-night confessions that blur professional lines.
