The Laundromat

Nick has everything he thought he ever wanted: a loving wife, two grown children, and a quiet life on Long Island. But beneath the surface, he’s unravelling. Haunted by childhood trauma and the ghosts of his past, he finds solace in the rhythm of domestic routines—especially in the hum and hush of his weekly visits to the local laundromat.

There, among the spinning dryers and the scent of detergent, Nick meets Nicholas—a teenage boy with silent eyes and bruises too deep to name. Their unlikely connection stirs something in Nick he thought long buried. As he begins to confront the pain he’s long avoided, his grip on the present—his family, his marriage, and his own identity—begins to shift.

Told with raw honesty and quiet beauty, The Laundromat is a story of reckoning and redemption. It explores the lifelong impact of bullying, the quiet endurance of love, and the healing power of human connection.
