Open Mike

By Mr Gerard J O'Kane

In a fading seaside town, one man refuses to give up on his dream.

Mike Harper is a fifty-year-old singer-songwriter still playing open mic nights and chasing the success that never quite came. One song, Cool in Blue, won't let him go. Neither will the strange dream that haunts him every night. A high diving board, a dark pool, and the moment before the jump.

Then the Pool Guy appears.

Ageless and unsettling, he begins to show up in Mike's real life, quietly pushing him to face his past and the choices he has avoided. As a new relationship offers hope and old regrets resurface, Mike must decide if he's ready to change.

Warm, humorous, and quietly surreal, Open Mike is a story about second chances, creativity, and finding the courage to take one final leap... no matter your age.
