3 roles
Magnetic, guarded, and quietly self-destructive. A privileged rich kid who hides his vulnerability behind cruelty and charm. Rachel's best friend, but Jason's past. He wants love, control, and protection all at once — and his inability to choose becomes dangerous. LGBTQ+ actors strongly preferred. Important: This role includes intimacy. All intimacy will be handled professionally, with clear communication, boundaries, and appropriate production protocols.
Beautiful, sharp, seductive, and terrifyingly composed, Rachel is the social queen of her suburban world. She treats people like pieces on a board, using secrets, desire, humiliation, and affection to keep everyone under her control. Logan is the one person she refuses to lose, and when her power is threatened, she becomes lethal.
Lexi is desperate for validation, constantly twisting herself into knots to please the people around her. Her intense need to be the center of attention stems from deeply rooted, unhealed trauma. She is loud, intensely insecure, and tragic—a girl who will do anything to feel seen and loved, but is entirely terrified of being truly known. She has fidgety/anxious physical energy.
