3 roles
A lower-middle class rural man from Florida who is slowly realizing that the world has passed him by. He is bitter, resentful, and isolated, and uses items like his truck to define his personality so he does not have to expose his true character (or lack thereof) to the world.
His idealistic son, just graduated from college. Very self-serious and earnest, very “into” spirituality.
Jacob’s best friend, somewhat similar to Jacob but more of a clown and a complete Florida man.
