Careless People

By Ceci Matatics

Careless People presents a reimagined aftermath of The Great Gatsby where Nick returns to New York and is left alone with the knowledge that never surfaced its way into the papers: the truth of what happened, who was responsible, and how easily wealth and silence buried it. As New York resumes at its glittering pace, Nick wanders through a city that feels haunted by memory, guilt, and the impossible hope that some truths might still matter if spoken aloud.

Careless People examines Nick's struggle to reckon with complicity and the act of surviving injustice without correcting it. Nick's reflection and introspective return to the city prompt him to make one final attempt at justice, but he learns that truth without power may be futile, and that moral clarity often arrives too late to change anything but oneself.
