Some families pass down traditions. Others pass down secrets.
Jaime BienAme and Justice Bonita grew up connected by family, loyalty, and a bond neither fully understood. But as adulthood approaches and Jaime prepares to leave for the Navy, everything left unspoken begins rising to the surface.
One final encounter changes the emotional balance between them. Then Jaime disappears into a new life, leaving Justice behind with unanswered questions, buried pain, and a secret powerful enough to fracture their entire family.
As distance, silence, and regret tighten their grip, Jaime and Justice become trapped in a cold, vicious cycle-one built from complicated feelings, broken trust, generational wounds, and choices that cannot easily be undone. To escape it, they must confront the truth about their bond, the boundaries they crossed emotionally, and the damage caused by everything they refused to say.
Raw, haunting, and emotionally fearless, The Cold Vicious Cycle is a short family drama about forbidden attachment, abandonment, loyalty, and the secrets that can follow people long after they believe they have escaped.
How do you break a cycle when the person who hurt you is also part of the history you cannot erase?
