The Wanderers

At thirty-one, Liam Chancellor has everything expected: a corner office, a powerful family name, and a clear path to the top of a major logistics corporation. From his glass-walled suite overlooking the St. Johns River, he watches the boulevard below each night where a loose community of wanderers drifts through the margins. Among them is Fyodor, an enigmatic older man whose flat, matter-of-fact voice quietly dismantles Liam’s carefully constructed certainty. As the company’s annual retreat approaches and Liam prepares to be named Number Two, the rituals of success begin to feel like walls closing in. His deepening conversations with Fyodor force him to confront the cost of the safe path and decide whether to claim his inheritance or walk away into the unknown.
