Portrays 17 Nina is Aniyah’s best friend since kindergarten outwardly carefree, playful, and charismatic. Beneath her easy-going surface, Nina is torn between loyalty to her family and loyalty to her best friend. She is not malicious, but is caught in an impossible situation engineered by her desperate father. Nina must convey a wide emotional range: from lighthearted and funny in early scenes, to terrified, conflicted, and ultimately remorseful.
Tyrone West is a desperate father pushed to the edge. He has lost his job, his wife is battling cancer, and he is drowning in debt with no options left or so he believes. He is not a career criminal; he is a man who has made a devastating moral choice in a moment of desperation. Tyrone must be physically imposing and commanding convincingly dangerous and menacing when masked, yet capable of showing raw, broken humanity in his unmasked moments.
