Junior Lee is the kind of man who never stops moving—because when he stops, the silence gets too loud. A devoted father, overworked husband, and the one everyone leans on, Junior is suffocating beneath the weight of responsibility and expectations. But no one notices. Not his boss, who constantly demands more. Not his wife, who's grown emotionally distant. Not even his teenage children, who treat his presence like furniture—always there, always assumed.

His home is no haven, his job is a cage, and his mind is a war zone. Junior is drowning in a world that mistakes silence for strength. Every time he tries to speak up about his pain, he's met with phrases like:

\"You'll be fine.\"

\"Man up.\"

\"You don't have it that bad.\"

Junior's only escape is late-night drives and solitary walks in the woods—searching for air, for clarity, for something. But the pressure keeps building: financial strain, emotional neglect, social isolation, and untreated depression.

The story unfolds in a dual-timeline narrative: the present-day unraveling of Junior's life, and moments from his childhood that shaped his fear of vulnerability. Readers watch in slow heartbreak as Junior tries to hold it together, desperately seeking a place to breathe—only to realize the world never made space for men like him to exhale.

Until, one day, he disappears.
