(LEAD) A highly controlled attorney with polish, discipline, and presence. Smart, composed, and used to keeping emotion locked behind professionalism. When she’s assigned to represent her best friend’s estranged husband, buried feelings and unresolved history begin cracking the image she’s built of herself. Looking for: layered dramatic actor with strong restraint, intelligence, sensuality, and emotional complexity. This role requires carrying internal conflict more than speeches.
(Supporting lead) Warm, accomplished, emotionally perceptive, and more observant than people realize. Lisa is navigating the collapse of her marriage while still holding herself together with grace and force. She trusts deeply — and when that trust is betrayed, she does not shatter publicly. She transforms. Looking for: actor with strength, subtlety, dignity, and emotional command. Must be able to play both intimacy and devastation without melodrama.
(Supporting lead) Charismatic, intelligent, composed, and emotionally elusive. Ethan is the estranged husband caught between legal war, old connections, desire, and self-preservation.
