2 roles

RENÉE BOUCHERFemale43-47 y.o.All ethnicities

A meticulous professional and fiercely devoted mother who's built her life around control. Renée hides her fear behind logic and routine, but the return of her long-lost husband cracks that composure. Her love for her daughter runs deep but so do the secrets she's buried to protect her. A character balancing grief, guilt, and quiet strength on the edge of collapse.

SHANE MARTINMale46-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Charismatic but frayed, Shane is a drifter with a soft voice and haunted eyes. Once loving and idealistic, years of obsession and guilt have eroded his grip on reality. His return is both tender and unnerving, forcing everyone to question whether he's a victim of trauma or a vessel for something darker. Magnetic, unpredictable, and deeply human beneath the menace.
