3 roles
A history major with no prospects and even less direction, Matt is the skeptic of the trio—quick to puncture Adam’s theories but unable to generate any of his own. His moves from slacker cynicism to comic, self‑serious destiny‑seeker.
Smart, sharp‑tongued, and the only one with an actual job—until she loses it in a spectacular on‑air meltdown—Beth is the group’s most grounded member until ambition and frustration twist her into a modern Lady Macbeth. She’s bold, impulsive, and surprisingly dangerous once she gets “a little too handy with a dagger.
Adam treats life like a strategic business simulation. He clings to his MBA identity—literally wearing a tie at all times—and believes he’s destined for greatness despite being unemployed. His certainty masks deep insecurity, making him both ridiculous and oddly sympathetic.
