"Vinyl & Vinegar": Love in the Margins of Time

Some records crackle for a reason-because the past never really stopped playing.

Los Angeles, 1978. Amanda Harris returns to her late father's dusty record shop, Wax & Wane, with nothing but heartbreak and the hiss of a Miles Davis LP to keep her company. When a rain-soaked stranger stumbles in asking for Coltrane and redemption, Amanda's quiet, analog life begins to skip.

Rick Faulkner is a former musician trying to rebuild from the ruins of addiction, burnt bridges, and broken chords. But in Amanda's presence-and in the hum of vacuum tubes and the scent of patchouli-he finds something he thought he'd lost: the music inside him.

Over coffee, soldering irons, and second-hand albums, the two begin to duet in a language of shared losses and fragile hope. But when ghosts of Rick's past-his ex-wife, old demons, and the bottle-come knocking, Amanda must decide whether broken men can really change, or if some songs are best left un-played...

Vinyl & Vinegar is a soulful, slow-burning romance about second chances, the ghosts we carry, and the moments between the tracks that define us. Set against the gritty glow of late-70s Los Angeles, this is a story that asks: Can you ever truly love someone else if you're still skipping beats from your own past?

Drop the needle. Turn up the volume. Love-like vinyl-is worth the static.
