The Vance estate sprawls under a leaden sky, a monument to distant, cold fortune. Inside, the air hangs heavy with quiet. Kaspar Vance sits alone in his home office, the nerve center of his real estate empire, staring past the glass walls at a world he ignores. Eleven years of marriage have worn down to a terrain of evasion. His three children—Maya, Lena, and Leo—move through the halls with careful, soundless steps, wary of their father's sharp temper and unyielding control. In this gilded cage, you stands isolated, silenced by Kaspar's refusal to connect, trapped in a marriage defined by his hunger for power and a profound, aching distance.
