5 roles
Raised from generational wealth and tradition, she chased down and married one of the biggest Tennis stars in his prime- now she’s not sure if something’s still missing. Vibrant, she lives on the forefront of culture and carries a strength that clashes with the tradition of the decade. *Character shares intimacy (kiss/caress) with Tony and Max. Character has fight scene with Lesgate.
A typically fiery ex-tennis pro forced to give up his sports passion for his rich wife, he misses the thrill of the game. Annoyingly charming and charismatic, his ego loves being the smartest one in the room and usually can’t handle otherwise. *Character shares intimacy (kiss/caress) with Margot.
A frustrated writer who still hasn’t gotten his break yet, he is the Nice Guy next door who let Margot get away and has been regretting it since. Like all writers, he praises cleverness- doubly so since he is a mystery writer- and enjoys a challenge. *Character shares intimacy (kiss/caress) with Margot.
A college-educated man, he uses those smarts and manners to con his way up the social ladder- to very good effect. With a flexible moral compass, he’s willing to do the dirty work that comes with having lots of money that wasn’t passed down to you. *Character has fight scene with Margot.
They are the system. An officer that can follow the clues, even if they get there in a confusing way- and even if the clues were planted. Not above facades when it comes to getting answers. Big fan of questions, this one.
