Breaking the Girl

1991.Surfers Paradise.

Ash is broke and grieving the sudden death of her twin. She escapes to a coastal city pulsing with neon, lust, and longing — a place that promises to swallow her whole.

When she meets Jay, a magnetic drifter with secrets buried deeper than the sea, she follows him to a crumbling mansion shared with a crew of sun-drunk surfers. Among them is Nebraska — Jay’s first love, a ghost tethered to the house by obsession and unfinished desire.

As summer drags on, Ash becomes entangled in a haunting triangle of grief, violence, and forbidden love. The salt sticks. The blood stains. And paradise begins to rot.

Breaking the Girl is a hypnotic descent into the dark undercurrent of girlhood — a story of mourning, mysticism and the dangerous beauty of being young and lost.
