In a city of light, two men haunted by shadows learn to feel again.
Broken Open is a sensual, slow-burn gay romance that explores what happens when two wounded souls dare to stop running. Nigel, a world-weary dancer, escapes to outrun heartbreak. Luca, on the other hand, is a reserved Italian chef, who hides behind silence and the art of exquisite food.
Their connection begins not with fireworks, but with a glance, and deepens into something that aches and heals in equal measure. This isn't just about love; it's about grief, trauma, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to stay when leaving would be easier.
