6 roles

TJMale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

A U.S. Navy medic who’s considering going AWOL to avoid a second tour in Afghanistan. He’s hiding out on the train (thanks to a stolen credit card) looking for answers, but he’s not sure if he’ll find them.

JANEFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

An introverted animator on her way to Seattle to see her longtime, long-distance boyfriend. She knows they’re going to break up, but she can’t bring herself to admit it. She’s very observant, though perhaps less so about herself.

NOAHMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

A former soldier who’s conflicted about his military past. He has no patience for TJ’s plight, but he knows the volatile range of emotions soldiers face as they follow orders they may not believe in. On his way to see his aging mother in Oregon, as he often does.

LIZFemale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Impulsively boards the train to get away from her husband, who humiliated her at a couples retreat by admitting in a group session that he’s cheating on her. By day she’s a confident fitness and lifestyle coach, and she’s not about to take this turn of events lying down.

EDMale40-59 y.o.All ethnicities

A traveling businessman and almost certain alcoholic, it’s only his constant motion that keeps him together. He fills his days with the minutia of his mundane job to distract himself from the realities of his life: he’s divorced, unable to see his kids, angry and alone. The victim of his own choices, he doesn’t know how to get back on track.

ANNAFemale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

She’s headed home to her wife and children after identifying her deceased, drug-addicted brother in San Francisco. Her unconditional mom energy is a beacon for TJ, and despite her own issues to process and grieve, she can’t help but see him for the fragile, wounded creature he is.
