Summary
Lando Norris used to be the guy you lost yourself to at 3 a.m. in a club: DJ, producer, professional burnout in progress. Then the crash, the rehab, the very nearly not-making-it.
Now he lives above a wildlife hospital on the Cornish coast, making coffee for exhausted vets and writing quiet, bird-soaked tracks no one’s supposed to hear. It’s small, and disciplined, and safe. Mostly.
Oscar Piastri is the vet who signed off on admitting him as “not technically avian” and never quite recovered from it. He likes order, risk assessments, and patients who can’t sneak off to sit on sea walls and flirt with catastrophic decisions. Unfortunately, he also likes Lando.
When a BBC documentary and live show — Tidal Line Live: Sea & Sanctuary — offers Lando a way back onto a stage, everyone has an opinion. Trustees see headlines. Old managers smell money. Lando feels the old hunger in his bones. Oscar feels sick.
This is a story about what comes after the crisis: about recovery as a practice, about found family in a small hospital full of broken birds, and about two people learning how to stay — with themselves, and with each other.
