East / Southeast Asian strongly preferred Brainy, guarded older brother caught between gang pressure and university hopes. By day he’s helping his little brother Minh study for a test, by night he’s Jimmy’s reluctant lookout; doing whatever it takes to feed and shelter his little brother Minh after their parents vanished. Kai’s university dream is hanging by a single scholarship, while gang pressure and guilt over a fatal slip-up threaten to drag him under. Must be able to layer quiet intellect and wary street instinct; able to pivot from gentle big-brother softness to panic, then to cold resolve when the gun is finally in his own hand.

East or Southeast Asian strongly preferred Kai’s ride or die since middle school and now the Boss’s favoured lieutenant. He masks an amphetamine habit with a switch between street philosophy and sudden, cutting-edge violence. Jimmy’s back-alley purchase of a hot gun sets off the chain of killings and eventually claims his life in Act 2, it shatters Kai’s last tether to the crew’s humanity and opens the void of power Daryll pounces on. Must juggle between charismatic calm, pill-spiked mania, and genuine brotherly wamrth towards Kai, all while commanding the crew in heavy GTA dialect.

East or Southeast Asian strongly preferred Kai’s kid brother and the short film’s moral compass. Smart, wide-eyed, and game obsessed, Minh still believes his and Kai’s cramped apartment life is “normal” because Kai keeps the worst truths from Minh. Minh trusts his brother blindly, but years of late-night absences, whispered arguments, and unexpected sleepovers at Ms. Linh’s have chipped away at that innocence. Guardian on set; limited shoot hours per regulations.

Type: East/Southeast Asian Kai’s closest thing to a parent didn’t start as kindness, it started as a detention. When Kai kept skipping her math class, Ms. Linh pulled him in after school, ready to lay down the law. Instead, she discovered a sharp mind buried under fatigue and stress from the streets. Ms. Linh keeps the teacher-student formality, but there’s a faint softness under every reprimand. Their history of detentions, and her stepping in for babysitting has threaded a quiet familiarity; respectful distance with a thin, unspoken thread of parental care.

Type: East/Southeast Asian, heavy Toronto street accent Daryll is the Boss’s own younger brother, a family tie that should’ve guaranteed him a place at the top. Instead, he’s forced to watch Jimmy rise to leadership. Unpredictable and erratic, he can flip from easy banter to sudden menace without warning.

Toronto street accent Front-line muscle for the crew. Think fast talk, faster fists. They drop packages, stand lookout, and swarm when violence sparks. Rough around the edges, street-smart but not polished. East/Southeast Asian faces preferred, open to all ethnicities. Improv skills a plus each runner gets brief lines and reactions.

26 years old, only daughter of the Hart Group. In her previous life, she was obsessed with her scoundrel husband, Victor, and was manipulated by him and his mistress, Camille, into signing away her assets. She was slowly poisoned, which led to her family's tragic death. Reborn on the day of the "husband selection event," she rewrites her destiny by choosing Adrian, thus regaining control of her life. She is smart, resilient, and proactive. She can fiercely fight back against humiliation and crush the Miller Group in a business war. Her strength comes from her clear-headed perspective. In her intimate relationships, she maintains boundaries, believing marriage is only a business partnership. However, Adrian's sincerity slowly melts the ice around her heart. Qualified intimacy coordinator on set, closed set. Mild intimacy scenes involving kissing.

30 years old, heir to the Hawthorne Group. He is dominant and clever, with a cold exterior but a warm heart. He possesses strong resolve and gentle patience. He is incredibly sincere to Stella, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her. He is also Stella's true childhood sweetheart. He spent his life alone, secretly protecting Stella and waiting for the curse to be broken. However, he only received the news of her and her family's deaths. On his 29th birthday, the curse was lifted, and he was granted one wish. He used it to turn back time, giving Stella her second chance. Must be athletic and in good shape. Qualified intimacy coordinator on set, closed set. Mild intimacy scenes involving kissing. Must be comfortable being topless.

30 years old, Stella's husband in her previous life and the man she mistakenly believed was her childhood sweetheart. He is the heir to the Miller Group. On the surface, he is proud and strong, but he is fundamentally insecure, arrogant, and foolishly opportunistic. In the previous life, he used "true love" as a guise to manipulate and exploit Stella. In this life, his despicable nature remains unchanged. He cannot believe Stella would marry anyone but him. When Stella and Adrian team up to short his company and he witnesses their intimacy, he loses control. He lashes out at Camille and their conflict escalates into violence.
