9 roles
SECONDARY LEAD: Our protagonist’s (Allison Hooper) younger sister. Smart, rebellious, a little wounded. Struggles with anxiety, pill addiction, and belonging. Has been exposed to the town’s darker underbelly. Emotionally vulnerable but with a spark of strength. Heavy performance.
STRONG SUPPORTING: Allison and Sammie’s father. Ex-sheriff. Authoritative, proud, hiding morally grey secrets. Layered character. Some stunt/combat work.
STRONG SUPPORTING: A local cop clinging to control. Haunted by his past. Appears noble but is morally complex. Intense and unpredictable. Weapons/stunt experience a plus.
SUPPORTING: Allison’s stepmother. Mother to Sammie. Warm, maternal, but not afraid to fight when her family is threatened. Small combat moment.
SUPPORTING: Old-school politician with a corrupt core. Slick, likable in public, but dirty beneath. Think Mayor Vaughn from Jaws.
DAY PLAYER: Vice Mayor who steps in during crisis. Wavering between control and collapse. One key monologue scene.
Two young cops caught in the town's chaos. Nervous, reactive, and ultimately in over their heads. Some physical action.
