Life Overtakes Me

In a small, quiet town where the whispers of everyday life mask deeper struggles, “Life Overtakes Me” follows the intertwined journeys of three individuals who grapple with the burdens of their past while trying to carve out a future of their own.

Maya, a talented artist in her late twenties, faces the harsh reality of her insurmountable student debt and the looming shadows of her childhood trauma.

Across town, David, a middle-aged single father, struggles to keep his family afloat after the tragic loss of his wife. Managing his teenage daughter, Lily’s rebellious spirit while juggling two jobs leaves him exhausted and emotionally unavailable. As their once-close bond frays, David fears that he is losing the very person he desperately wants to protect. Unbeknownst to him, Lily is battling her own demons—addiction creeping in as she seeks solace in the bottom of a bottle, believing it might drown out the pain of losing her mother.

Meanwhile, the enigmatic Evan, fresh out of rehab, returns to his hometown determined to turn over a new leaf. His past is filled with a web of poor choices driven by addiction, and as he attempts to reconnect with his estranged father and make amends, he finds himself drawn to Maya’s artwork. Their paths collide in unexpected ways, igniting a spark of inspiration and hope that challenges each of their perceptions of forgiveness and redemption.
