Description

Nick Langston, a nineteen-year-old on the verge of starting a new chapter of his life in New York City, away from the obligations and responsibilities of his past. Ready to dive into his college life and independence, Nick's plans are sidetracked when his mother asks him to do her a favor-check on Riel Montague, the son of her best friend. Riel is the same age as Nick but carries a mysterious weight, having been sent to New York after an emotionally turbulent past.

Nick doesn't care to get involved, seeing it as just another task to check off his list. His indifference defines his early interactions, and he's content to do the bare minimum-ring the doorbell, send a quick text to his mom, and move on with his life. But when Riel doesn't answer, and strange rumors begin circulating about him, Nick finds himself increasingly drawn into a situation he neither wants nor understands.

As the city's pulse thrums around them, Nick's casual indifference starts to chip away, revealing a reluctant curiosity about Riel's life. Riel, meanwhile, is a character cloaked in silence, trauma, and unspoken pain. Their paths collide in awkward, unexpected ways as Nick navigates his growing sense of guilt and responsibility toward someone he was never supposed to care about.

In this slow-burn, emotional drama, "One Step To The Heart" explores themes of trauma, mental health, guilt, and the complexities of human connection. As Nick tries to distance himself, he slowly realizes that Riel's silence hides more than he could have imagined. Together, they confront their own fears, vulnerabilities, and the weight of what it means to care for someone when you weren't planning on it.
