    Summary

    Thomas is haunted by guilt. Once a family man, he lost everything when his loved ones were imprisoned. Now he drifts through life burdened by failure, unable to change the past or grasp a future where he sets things right. The Midland Hotel offers a brief escape in mechanical, meaningless encounters that dull his regret.

    Loretta is always careful. Her florist shop is a mask, a front that keeps the women upstairs safe, but illusions are fragile. One crack, one mistake, one man, and everything she’s built could come crashing down.
