A beautiful sunny spring day. An idyllic trail. The perfect outing. Until it wasn't.
One wrong step on an otherwise routine hike sends Lexi plummeting into a cavern. Grappling with injuries and fighting her fear of the dark - and the memories it holds - Lexi musters all her courage to search for a way out. As the hours and then days pass, she clings to the hope she will get out.
She soon discovers that getting out isn't the end of her troubles.
Wanting nothing more than to return to the life she led before, Lexi instead finds herself revisiting old fears and succumbing to new ones.
Low Light Intolerant is a quiet, poignant story about depression, anxiety, and the long shadow of trauma, about unlearning a lifetime of avoidance, and the uncertain, imperfect steps people take toward the light, even when fear of the dark persists.
