Feel something.
Love and loss.
Lovers and losers.
An astronaut drifts away from his ship thinking of his daughter. A ruthless tech mogul takes over a breakthrough project to speak with whales. The ghost of a child relives his drowning during a day at the beach. A pitcher loses command of his knuckleball on his second pitch of his debut in the majors. A boy learns a hard lesson about love sharing a box of Valentine's hearts.
Stories of love, tragedy, courage, horror, revenge, regret and guilt.
Lovers and losers.
Love and loss.

Adam divides his time between Brooklyn, NY, and Paris, where he lives with his wife on the top floor of the Eiffel Tower.
