Felix confessed his forbidden love at eighteen and got his heart broken. Seven years later, his dangerous games ignite a dark, 15-year suppressed obsession his brother can no longer contain. Adopted into the elite Hawthorne family as a child, Felix was given everything—a name meaning "fortune," a copper tag engraved with "Lucky," and the unwavering devotion of his silent, protective foster brother, Sylvan. But on his eighteenth birthday, Felix crossed the forbidden line: "I don't want to be your lucky charm. I want to be your love." Sylvan’s cold rejection forced Felix into a seven-year withdrawal, transforming him into an ambitious, guarded entrepreneur in San Francisco. Determined to break the invisible leash, Felix plays with fire—provoking Sylvan by courting business rivals Jasper Vance and Ethan Chen. But an explosive confrontation at a charity gala shatters Sylvan’s iron control, unleashing a possessive love that threatens to consume them both. As dark truths emerge—a devastating childhood medical secret and Sylvan's fading hearing—a storm-swept Monterey cliff will test whether their bond is a curse of guilt, or a destiny written in every lifetime. 🔔 Subscribe for more cinematic AI films, dark romance, and emotional short movies! 💬 Do you think Sylvan was right to hide his secret for 15 years, or did he break Felix's heart for nothing?
