Paralyzed Hope

Some scars are invisible. Some battles are silent. But hope refuses to be quiet.

When Sidra's suicide attempt fails, she's thrust into the stark reality of Pleasant Horizons Psychiatric Hospital.

Inside the hospital's walls, Sidra meets five other patients-strangers whose stories of trauma, survival, and resilience mirror pieces of her own. Together, they begin to form an unexpected bond, offering each other something they've almost forgotten: Hope.

But healing doesn't come easily.

Standing in their way is Kester, the hospital's most feared counselor-manipulative, controlling, and dangerously dismissive of the very patients he's meant to help. His harsh methods and abuse of power keep the group silent and stuck, trapped in a system meant to save them.

Sidra is done staying quiet.

With the help of her new friends, she dares to rise against Kester's cruelty. Together, they must decide: endure the system in silence or fight back for themselves, and for every patient yet to come.

Paralyzed Hope is a raw and emotionally charged story of survival, friendship, and the courage it takes to challenge the darkness when the world has already given up on you.
