Steps Between Us

A tense, intimate story of family, desire, and complicated connections in a seemingly perfect suburb.

In the affluent streets of Brookside, two former lovers are forced into a new dynamic when their parents marry, making them step-siblings. The story begins as one returns home from college to find the other living in the family house. What starts as awkward coexistence slowly unravels into emotional tension, lingering desire, and the challenge of navigating feelings that should have remained in the past. Amid polished façades and glossy suburbia, they confront what it means to balance family loyalty, personal longing, and the blurred lines between them.
