Breakdown

Seeking:

JESS
Early 30s. Has returned to the family home in Florida after her tour of duty. Trying to reach a level of normalcy whilst trying to deal with extreme pain from her injuries. Severely distorted by third degree burns, uses a walker. Quick-witted, intelligent, tough. Trying to have strength in her body, vulnerability in her life.

KACIE
Early-mid 30s. Jess' older sister by a few years. Was probably beautiful once, but has let herself go. A little overweight now. Sweet, trying hard for positivity. When Jess returns home, Kacie tries her best to make her feel comfortable but most often fails. She wants Jess to like and accept her new boyfriend Kelvin whom Jess has identified as trash.

STEVIE
Early 30s. Jess’ ex-boyfriend who works at a gas station in their hometown. He has an inviting smile that makes you want to live in it. Life just keeps happening to him. His heart is in the right place but he’s always saying the wrong thing and making bad jokes.

KELVIN
Mid- late 30s. Kacie’s boyfriend. Older than Kacie, too comfortable in his own skin. Was a plumber before his knee injury and now happily lives off government disability. Tries hard to get along with Jess but it’s not working.

VOICE / THEIR MOM
60s. Passionate, powerful, maternal. Should have a strong vocal quality. She is the voice behind the game created to help with Jess’ pain management. This actor will also play Jess and Kacie’s unwell mom who has spent the last few years in assisted living.
