Taylor Hayes is currently suffering from burnout due to his unrelenting yet monotonous job as an Internet Surveillance Specialist. Once a star employee, Taylor longs to revert to his former, ambitious self but continues to slack off at his job due to a lack of motivation. One day, he discovers a suicidal subject who shares the same name as him. From then on, Taylor is determined to save his name-sharing subject no matter the consequences.
Scott is Taylor’s strict supervisor who is irritated with his lack of work ethic. Having known Taylor during his glory days, he is constantly disappointed in him and does not condone his newfound obsession. He is orderly, practical, and becomes increasingly fed up with Taylor and his schemes.
Subject Taylor was once ambitious and academic. When Agent Taylor looks through his search history, Subject Taylor is revealed to be suicidal. He is then unknowingly intertwined into Taylor’s life by becoming the center of his obsession.
Colorblind Casting. Helpful Holly is the campy video narrator who guides Taylor in his journey of saving Subject Taylor. She has a sweet and inappropriately enthusiastic demeanor when tackling the issue of suicide.
