Reflections at the Window

About

David Harmon has perfected the art of appearing whole while feeling empty. As a successful film executive in Los Angeles, he's crafted an enviable life of professional respect and material comfort. But decades after losing his partner to AIDS, David exists at a careful distance from others—connected enough to function, but never close enough to hurt.

When he spots a homeless teenager through a diner window, something inexplicable happens. David's rare empathic gift activates, allowing him to feel the boy's fear and loneliness as viscerally as his own. Later, standing before a doggie daycare window, their eyes meet again—and both men find themselves unexpectedly in tears.

Marcus, wary but desperate, cautiously accepts David's help. As trust slowly builds between them, their lives expand to include Elena—the best friend of David's late partner—and her two sons: seventeen-year-old Aiden, grappling with his sexuality, and fourteen-year-old Noah, resistant to the changes in his family.

Through an unforgettable summer of new connections, painful memories, and unexpected romance, five people discover that sometimes the most profound reflections of ourselves appear in the eyes of others—and that family isn't always what you're born into, but what you build when you're brave enough to let someone see through your carefully constructed windows.

A moving exploration of intergenerational bonds, chosen family, and the courage it takes to be truly seen, even when invisibility feels safer.
