Fan Casting UNSPOKEN (2029)

In Unspoken, love is explored through the lens of isolation and resilience, set in the lush but desolate landscapes of coastal Maine. The story follows Rowan Tate, a widowed fisherman battling mutism after a traumatic accident, and Evelyn Hall, a linguist and speech therapist escaping her own demons in the city. Evelyn moves to the small seaside town to find peace but quickly becomes intrigued by Rowan, whose mysterious silence masks an unspoken grief. Hired by Rowan’s estranged sister to help him regain his ability to speak, Evelyn uncovers the details of his past, including the loss of his wife and son in a boating accident that he blames himself for. As Evelyn and Rowan spend time together—communicating through gestures, notes, and unspoken understanding—a quiet, tender romance blossoms. Rowan’s inability to speak forces Evelyn to face her own struggles with connecting emotionally, stemming from her estranged relationship with her dying father. The story builds to an emotionally raw climax when a severe storm threatens the town, forcing Rowan to confront his fears, and Evelyn must make a choice between leaving to reconcile with her father or staying to help Rowan heal.
