“Rebirth is less a religious experience and more an attempt to quiet the voices in your head.”

At forty, Daisy is staring at the “Rebuilding Phase” of her life, and she’s already tired. She has two law degrees, a mountain of debt, and a flat in a forgotten town where the peeling paint matches her own sense of self. To the world, she is a collection of CV gaps and “unfortunate” Google results. To herself, she is a “desperate, miserable misanthrope” just trying to find a version of her true self that doesn’t feel like a costume.

From the high-impact theatre of the wrestling ring to the quiet humiliation of a “cowboy-themed” audition, Daisy has spent decades playing roles to survive. But as she navigates the wreckage of a past defined by a series of mistakes, losses and the explosive fallout of addiction, she realizes that “stabilizing” isn’t just about spreadsheets and sobriety – it’s about finding the courage to exist in the present.

Guided by an AI-generated roadmap and the persistent, knowing presence of those who refuse to let her disappear, Daisy must decide if she is truly under construction or if she is just “an archaeology project” for her own pain.

The Afterlife of a Disaster is a raw, witty, and unapologetic journey through the debris of a life lived at full volume, asking the hardest question of all: is the person left in the wreckage worth the effort of saving?
