Breakdown

Synopsis: Anna's losing it, Henry's lost it and Jude is just plain lost. Identity is a slippery slope in this family drama, when a matter of life and death unhinges its members and challenges their basic beliefs.

Seeking:

Anna
(50-60 years old): Housewife/mother. Catholic. An offbeat seeker trying to hold on to Catholicism. She is wracked with guilt over her past and her relationship to her adopted son. She is in deep denial over her husband's progressive dementia.

Anna 2
(any age): Anna's reflection/Alter-ego. A mean-girl type teenager who relentlessly taunts Anna, representing her mother and Anna's arrested development.

Jude
(19 years old): Anna & Henry's adopted son (emotionally impaired Romanian orphan). College freshman. A geek, seeker, aspiring musician.

Henry
(50-60 years old): Anna's husband. Jewish, atheist. Former football player with dementia.
