7 roles
LEAD ROLE. Tall, striking, and effortlessly graceful. Morgan Blackwood was a grieving widow on the run, hunted by the three ruthless kingpins of the East Coast underworld after her husband was murdered in cold blood. Forced to protect her daughter at all costs, she sent young Quinn into hiding with the influential Lawson family and vanished overseas. In exile, Morgan rebuilt herself from the ashes, founding the infamous Black Widow Syndicate, a criminal empire feared across continents.
LEAD ROLE. Quinn Blackwood, 18, is the stunning and tragic daughter of Morgan Blackwood, her beauty both a gift and a curse. Raised in secrecy by the influential Lawson family, she was groomed and exploited, her innocence stolen and her voice suppressed. Though outwardly timid, fearful, and conditioned to obey, a quiet fire burns within her. Beneath the layers of trauma lies a fierce loyalty to the one person she’s never stopped believing in her mother.
LEAD ROLE. Blade, 40, is a scar-faced enforcer with a brutal past etched into every line of his hardened face. Towering and intimidating, he’s a man feared by many but truly known by few. Beneath his rough, battle-worn exterior lies a surprisingly sensitive and deeply loyal soul, bound by unwavering devotion to Morgan Blackwood. Blade follows her commands without hesitation, acting as her shadow, protector, and executioner when needed.
SUPPORTING ROLE. Jason is the dangerously handsome nephew of East Coast crime boss Damien and the boyfriend of Emily Lawson, a relationship built more on power and image than affection. Raised in the shadows of organized crime, Jason has become his uncle’s most trusted enforcer, often carrying out the syndicate’s darkest deeds with chilling efficiency. Beneath his polished exterior lies a cold-blooded and ruthless operator, unflinching in violence and skilled in manipulation.
SUPPORTING ROLE. Emily Lawson, 18, is the privileged and venomous daughter of Gloria Lawson, raised in luxury but consumed by insecurity. As the childhood “friend” turned tormentor of Quinn Blackwood, Emily’s jealousy festered for years, resentful of Quinn’s beauty, quiet strength, and the attention she received even in captivity.
SUPPORTING ROLE. Gloria Swanson, 40, is a sharp-tongued, power-obsessed woman who thrives on control and manipulation. Greedy and entitled, she’s spent her life climbing social ladders, using charm, deceit, and seduction to get exactly what she wants. Gloria is a habitual liar and unrepentant cheater, loyal to no one but herself. She’s used to having the world bend to her will, and when it doesn’t, she’ll twist the truth or people to make it happen.
SUPPORTING ROLE. Tony Wolfe, 35, is the top enforcer for Damien. A towering, physically imposing figure who uses fear as his most effective weapon. With a chiseled build and a constant air of menace, Tony thrives on intimidation and violence, carrying out Damien’s orders with brutal efficiency. Arrogant and openly disrespectful to everyone except Damien, he sees himself as untouchable, often pushing boundaries just to assert dominance.
