2 roles

NickMale25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

The ‘Schemer’, Quick-thinking, clever, confident. Nick is a low-stakes conman who makes his money upselling stolen household items from the Estates of the recently deceased. Nick sees himself as a guardian and mentor to Lyle—his best friend and fellow con-artist—regardless of Lyle’s growing insecurity. Nick’s a big picture kind of guy. He doesn’t (or can’t) sweat the small stuff.

LyleFemale25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

The ‘Dreamer’, Quietly ambitious, impressionable, a fragile soul. Lyle has been playing second fiddle to Nick’s get-rich-quick schemes for too long now and it’s time for a dramatic change. Seeking something meaningful beyond their petty schemes, while feeling held back by years of self-doubt and co-dependence, Lyle’s frustrations have built — ready to snap. He loves Nick. He’s always been at his side. But a lifetime of living in another man’s shadow is wearing Lyle down.
