Numbed: How to Fall in Love or Get Lost in the Process

By Gustavo Andres Guzman

Ryan Torres has spent fifteen years avoiding his family's legacy in the art world. But when his past finally catches up to him in his Miami apartment, he's forced to confront the truth about his mother's final collection - a million-dollar set of paintings at the center of a bitter dispute with his estranged grandmother, a prominent Caracas socialite with secrets of her own. From Miami's gleaming towers to Caracas's chaotic streets, Ryan searches for answers while spiraling through a haze of failed relationships, chemical escapes, and desperate attempts at human connection. With each step deeper into his family's darkness, he questions everything he thought he knew about his mother's art, his fractured relationships, and even his own grip on reality. A darkly comic psychological thriller that explores addiction, isolation, and the blurred lines between family loyalty and betrayal. In his search for truth, Ryan must decide if facing his demons means embracing them - or finally letting them go.
