The Love Song of Finn & Emilia

This is the story of Finn and Emilia; from serendipitous beginnings to their relationship’s tragic end. Their story is intertwined with The Waste Land, word play on the beach, The Sound of Silence, and Emilia’s best friend, Bear (who has a secret only her psychiatrist knows).

This is a melancholy ballad; a song for love lost to the ocean and the subsequent impact upon those caught in its delicate web.
