The Bounds

After breaking free from a suffocating relationship, Mia sets off for Italy, eager to embrace the excitement of her new single life. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture, she revels in the sense of adventure that fills her days. But as she delves deeper into her new world, Mia finds herself caught in a different kind of trap: a toxic relationship with a charming yet controlling partner.

Isolated from her family and friends, Mia slowly becomes entangled in his psychological grip. The once-exciting romance turns dark as she navigates his verbal abuse and emotional manipulation. When her father’s health declines back home, she’s torn between love and loyalty, her partner refusing to let her leave until she confronts her own fears.

Returning to the U.S. after her father’s passing, Mia is forced to confront the painful truth: the years of emotional abuse have left deep scars. In her grief, she discovers a newfound understanding of freedom—realizing that true liberation comes from within, unshackled by the expectations of others. “The Bounds” is a heartfelt journey of resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to reclaim one’s life after loss.
