SEEKING:
ANNIE WILKES (Female Presenting, 40s–60s – any Race) A nurse who comes to Paul's rescue (seemingly), Annie seems to be a kind, tender woman who cares deeply for Paul, even if she does seem slightly off. As Paul grows to know her, it becomes clearer that Annie is manipulative, cunning, and hides a deep-seated and terrifying malice behind her cheery simple façade.
PAUL SHELDON (Male Presenting, Late 30s–Early 60s – any race) A famed romance novelist tired of the series that has brought him the most acclaim. Returning from a retreat to finish his most recent work, he is involved in a terrible car crash that leaves him with broken legs and unable to care for himself. He’s thoughtful, if not a touch arrogant, and extremely crafty. He quickly realizes how dangerous his situation is and must use anything and everything at his disposal to survive.
BUSTER (Male Presenting, Late 30s–Late 60s, any race) The Sheriff of a nearby town searching for Paul. Very friendly with possible hopes of something more with Annie.
