Description

Twelve-year-old Raymond has always felt invisible, but when he finds himself homeless, he must truly disappear to survive. With no family to turn to, he moves into the woods, relying on his survival skills, wits, and a stray dog for companionship. Every day is a struggle to find food, stay hidden, and avoid the dangers of being alone.

Despite his isolation, Raymond discovers unexpected kindness from a few people in town, including a librarian who suspects something is wrong. As his situation worsens, he faces tough choices—does he keep hiding, or does he risk asking for help? The line between survival and connection begins to blur.

In the end, Raymond learns that true strength isn’t just about surviving alone but about trusting others and allowing himself to be seen. His journey is one of resilience, hope, and finding a place where he belongs.
