Wild Youth, Volume 2.

On a moonlit prairie, a young man named Orlando returns from his first brutal encounter, his triumph shadowed by the fear that no one will believe his truth. He and Louise share a tentative breakfast, their camaraderie tinged with a fragile hope that love might outweigh the harsh circumstances surrounding them. Yet the horizon holds rumors of a looming trial in Tralee, where Louise’s innocence will be called into question.

Joel Mazarine, the stern landowner, watches the prairie with growing suspicion, convinced betrayal hides in every rustle of wheat. His fierce pride drives relentless interrogations, casting a dark cloud over Orlando and Louise’s tentative bond.

As night deepens, the prairie becomes a stage for whispered promises and looming confrontations, testing each character’s resolve. Listeners will find themselves drawn into a world where honor, love, and suspicion collide amid the endless grasses. The first act sets a potent mix of hope and dread, inviting you to follow the unfolding struggle.
