EMILY ROTH Both genders 20-24 y.o. All ethnicities

A classically trained violinist with a voluptuous figure and homely face, arriving in LA from the Midwest. Naive, awkward, and endearingly flustered in social situations — prone to word-fumbling and self-deprecating humor. Beneath that vulnerability lives cold, calculating menace and a buried rage that can surface without warning. Must play comic vulnerability and genuine danger with equal conviction. Violin performance skills a plus.

PETER Male 25-29 y.o. All ethnicities

Wiry, quirky-cute, and nerdish. A self-contained, tech-savvy loner with a warm romantic side and a quietly dangerous undercurrent. Socially awkward but deeply perceptive, with a fiercely protective streak. Must balance genuine sweetness with controlled menace.

XAVIER Male 30-39 y.o. All ethnicities

Soap-star handsome with a charming surface and a cold, cunning interior. Carries an easy sneer and turns intimidating quickly. Fundamentally a predator dressed as a landlord.

CHLOE Female 30-39 y.o. All ethnicities

Blonde, outwardly ditzy and warm, but shrewd and calculating underneath. Can shift from sisterly to threatening in an instant. Sharp comic timing essential.

AIDEN Male 20-39 y.o. All ethnicities

Jim Morrison looks — magnetic, loud, crude, and self-destructive. Sexually aggressive with rare flashes of genuine feeling. Rockstar energy required.

JASMINE Female 18-96 y.o. All ethnicities

Warm, plainspoken, and grounded — the moral compass of the piece. Genuine dignity and emotional intelligence are essential to the role.

DETECTIVE ROBBINS Male 46-55 y.o. All ethnicities

Heavyset and grizzled. A no-nonsense, straight-talking cop with a cigarette perpetually on his lip. Dogged and suspicious, with occasional flashes of empathy.

GORDON ROTH Male 50-59 y.o. All ethnicities

Nick Nolte type — sandy-haired, weathered, and beaten. Fiercely loving toward his daughter; cold and dangerous to everyone else.

VINCE DEMATTO Male 30-39 y.o. All ethnicities

Slick and well-dressed. Predatory under a smooth, confident charm. Featured role.

STEVE HANSEN Male 33-37 y.o. All ethnicities

Clean-cut and polished — more Harvard lawyer than creative. Charismatic and manipulative. Featured role.

DETECTIVE HERNANDEZ Both genders 18-96 y.o. All ethnicities

Professional and steady. Small recurring supporting role.
