Broken Country

Beth and her gentle husband, Frank, live a quiet, contented life in the English countryside—built carefully on love, routine, and the unspoken understanding that some memories are best left untouched. But everything changes with a single gunshot: when Frank’s brother kills a dog harassing their sheep, no one expects the fallout. The dog belonged to Gabriel Wolfe—Beth’s first love, and the man who broke her heart decades ago.

Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son, Leo—a boy whose presence stirs painful echoes of Beth’s own son, lost in a tragic accident years earlier. As Gabriel and Beth’s paths cross once more, long-suppressed emotions begin to surface, and the fragile equilibrium of Beth’s life starts to tremble. Whispers from the past stir tension in the close-knit community, where old wounds, jealousy, and guilt threaten to erupt with devastating consequences.

Caught between the woman she used to be and the life she has built since, Beth must confront the truth of what happened years ago—and decide whether her future lies in loyalty or in a second chance at the love she never truly let go.
