Seeking:

Maddy: (Female, Black, 30’s) Once a successful public relations executive, now a mental patient after being arrested in a series of bizarre burglaries in Washington's Northwest. Constantly trying to live up to her parents and society’s expectations.



Yount: (Male, Black, 60’s) Maddy's father; a recently defeated Congressman who worked his way up from the plains of Kansas and blames her scandal for his loss. Worked hard for everything he has and cannot understand Maddy.



The Summer Man: (Male, White, 40’s) A spectral figure from long ago, who began appearing to Maddy at her family's summer house in upstate New York when she was a child. Now, he has returned, and like everyone else, wants something from Maddy.
Salary: $450
