4 roles
Hopeful, outgoing and always ready to help, Hannah has a habit of getting involved even when nobody asked her to. She brings a lot of life into the room, but when the attention turns back on her, that confidence becomes harder to hold onto.
Quiet and observant, David is a mechanic who keeps mostly to himself. He believes people should pull their own weight, which makes living with the other residents frustrating. Hannah gets on his nerves at first, but he starts noticing there's more to her than the smile she walks in with.
Hannah's longtime friend and a talented artist. Tiffany used to be the kind of person who would give someone the shirt off her back. These days, she would rather stay in her room, draw, and be left alone. Hannah remembers who Tiffany used to be. Tiffany isn't sure she wants to be that person anymore.
Blunt, creative, and not afraid to speak her mind. Bridget loves makeup and knows she has talent, but disappointment has made her protective of what she still cares about. She doesn't need someone telling her what she could become, especially when that someone is Hannah.
