4 roles

MilesMale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead Role. Miles is a sensitive and introspective young man caught between the chaos of his troubled home life and the yearning for peace and escape. He’s a young man who has lived with a constant, gnawing sense of dissatisfaction, trying to find solace in substances and distractions. Though outwardly calm and collected, there is a quiet intensity to his character—a deep, unresolved pain hidden beneath the surface.

Miles MotherFemale30-50 y.o.All ethnicities

Day Player. Miles’ mother is a woman who is worn down by the relentless stress of her family life. She loves her son deeply but is often consumed by the pain of her own broken relationship with her husband. Often in the background.

Miles DadMale30-50 y.o.All ethnicities

Day Player. He’s deeply dissatisfied with his life and his marriage, but instead of confronting the root causes of his unhappiness, he takes it out on his wife and son. He’s often angry, defensive, and distant, leaving Miles to navigate a chaotic, unwelcoming environment.

Boys In ParkMale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

Extras. A group of teenage boys that Miles encounters in an alleyway, the "Boys in the Park" represent a turning point in his journey. They are not necessarily bad kids, but their world is one of rebellion, carelessness, and escapism. They offer Miles a glimpse into a lifestyle that promises relief from his emotional struggles—through substances, bad habits, and a desire to numb the pain.
