4 roles

CANDY HAZELWOODFemale35-39 y.o.All ethnicities

BioTech Billionaire Founder. Brilliant, elusive, quick-witted, and ruthlessly strategic. She wields her beauty, and her position as a woman in a male-dominated field, as a weapon, not a weakness. But beneath the polished surface lies a secret dark enough to shatter everything she's worked her entire life to build.

JACK SPELLINGMale30-35 y.o.All ethnicities

A disillusioned tech journalist, worn down by years of covering empty tech promises. Unkempt beard, wrinkled shirt, a man who's clearly stopped trying. With Al on the rise and his hope at an all-time low, he's moments away from quitting his job. That is, until Candy chooses him for the interview, precisely because of his cynicism.

NEWTON BAXTERMale40-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Candy's longtime publicist. Equal parts strategist and watchdog.

WILLOWFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Candy's fiercely loyal assistant. Sharp, ambitious, and nearly a carbon copy of her.
