Supernova

A story of friendship, addiction, bad choices, and hard-learned lessons...

This playlist was carefully curated to reflect the emotional journey of Supernova. If the music resonates with you, there's a good chance the novel will as well.

David spends his days in the delicate space where the living say goodbye to the dead, keeping tally of the night’s losses. A funeral director—and an addict in the thick of his own quiet collapse—he thought he understood the boundaries of grief and survival. But when a twenty-nine-year-old overdose victim ends up in his cooler, four of the young man’s fiercely loyal, deeply fractured friends walk into David’s lobby: an exhausted nurse, a hyper-vigilant combat veteran, a mouthy former jail guard, and a trauma-scarred outcast.

What begins as an administrative errand quickly spirals into an unexpected sanctuary. Drawn together by shared trauma, chemical coping mechanisms, and an unspoken desire to be saved, this makeshift family of outcasts navigates the humid shadows of the Florida coast. From chaotic late-night apartments to beachside drum circles, they lean on one another to survive the weight of the past and the terrifying prospect of a clean future.

Gritty, authentic, and emotionally raw, Supernova is not a clean, Hollywood story of effortless redemption. It is a crime-scene report of the human heart—a deeply personal journey exploring whether five broken souls can become each other’s anchor, or if the flames of their past will swallow them whole.
