Luna
Female, 30’s, Visibility Ethnic or Ethnically Ambiguous. The mom isn’t a full believe of the perfect triangle, but tries to support her husband and prepare him for an interview. It would be an asset if English is not their first language, but not a requirement.
Mia
Female, 7-8 years old, Visibility Ethnic or Ethnically Ambiguous. The daughter of Luna and Larry. She is a strong believer in the triangle and is distraught when the triangle is ruined, blaming the mom.
Henry
Male, 2-5 years old, Visibility Ethnic or Ethnically Ambiguous. Henry is unaware of the significance of the triangle, so he just acts like a normal toddler.
Delivery Guy
Male, 40’s, Any Ethnicity A strong believer in the triangle and worships the father when he goes to deliver a package to him.
Congregant
Male, 30’s Any Ethnicity Please note if talent is not comfortable with paint on their face. The person is part of a larger congregant that waits outside of the families home, making sure they and the triangle is protected.
Robert Walker
Open ethnicity Robert Walker is a physician in his mid-thirties, living a robotic and mundane routine of treating patients everyday. Accomplished and ambitious by most measures, he is still plagued by his own insecurities, anxieties and past encounters. As he struggles with a long-standing opioid addiction, it pulls him to the criminal underworld where he reunites with Zhou.
Zhou
Asian Canadian Already an experienced gang leader in his mid-20s, Zhou is unassuming but dangerous. He’s a viper hiding in plain sight, calm and focused about renewing his association with Robert for his criminal needs.
Cathy
Open ethnicity Cathy is a nurse in her late 40s who has seen it all but hasn’t lost her humanity in the process. Fundamentally caring, but practical, she cares for Robert and does her best to give the most care to anyone coming in the door.
Detective Mossberg
Open ethnicity World-weary at 45, he has seen his share of violence and disregard for life on the streets of Vancouver. Arriving in the story to inject another layer of paranoia, he’s friendly and suspicious without being outwardly threatening.
Jason
Open ethnicity Jason is the muscle of the gang and he’s tightly controlled and loyal to Zhou. Injured in a drug deal gone bad, he’s bleeding when we meet him in the story.
Tran
Asian-Canadian Barely 19, Tran is young and impressionable, and has been co-opted into this life through a mixture of necessity and pressure. The newest addition to the gang, he is still in the initiation stages, unsure of what his role will be, or if he has the stomach for it.
Ben
Capable beyond his years, Ben’s climbed the hierarchy of the station until being promoted to lieutenant. He’s faced every situation with a calm demeanor and a logical response, and despite an aversion to bringing attention to himself, the captain picked out. Ben’s too reserved to command the station himself, but his advice often shapes his captain’s decisions. He greatly respects his captain and holds an unshakable loyalty to him.
Terry
The authoritative captain of an accoladed space station. Terry’s a tightly wound, rigid leader who keeps emotions out of his work and remains focused on the mission. Despite this cold demeanor, his crew trusts and admires him, as his actions have saved them time and time again. In crisis, he’s driven by instinct and take immediate, decisive action.
Dennis
Dennis is a conscientious people-pleaser who finds safety in rules, routines, and earning approval from authority figures. He prides himself on being dependable, polite, and quietly competent, believing that if he does everything correctly, conflict can always be avoided. Validation from others deeply shapes his sense of self, making him uncomfortable with confrontation and quick to internalize blame. Recently promoted, Dennis sees this as proof that he is being rewarded for his fairness and competence. That belief fractures after a seemingly insignificant mistake by eating corn the “wrong way” at his boss’s dinner. Rather than reacting with anger, Dennis becomes anxious, hyper-aware, and fearful of making another unspoken mistake. He begins to view every interaction as a test, convinced that he alone is at fault for crossing an invisible line. Even after being fired, assaulted again, and psychologically haunted by the event, Dennis does not seek justice or revenge. Instead, he adapts. His response is quiet and unsettling: mastering the same thing that broke him and proves that one small error will not define him.
Leonard
Leonard is a control-oriented perfectionist whose fragile self-worth is propped up by authority and obedience from others. Beneath his outward charm lies deep insecurity, making him highly sensitive to anything that threatens his sense of superiority or order. He craves validation through dominance, interpreting minor deviations from his expectations as personal disrespect. He inherited the company from his father, which boosted his ego even higher. When he promotes Dennis to head of the legal division and invites him to dinner, he presents himself as a charming, generous, “cool” boss. However, this civility is conditional. When someone behaves in a way Leonard deems “incorrect,” his composure collapses into obsessive, violent rage. These episodes feel dissociative. Leonard returns to normal immediately afterward, genuinely unaware or unconcerned with the harm he’s caused, convinced that his behavior was justified. When he sees Dennis the next day, he acts as if everything is okay between them, however, this doesn’t last long because he makes Dennis eat the corn again to prove that he can conform to Leonard's idea of “doing things the proper way.”
Carol
Carol is Dennis’s former therapist and now wife. She is calm, observant, and emotionally intelligent. Unlike the others, Carol is not blinded by politeness or hierarchy. She attempts to help Dennis recognize the absurdity and seriousness of his situation but ultimately understands that she cannot undo the psychological damage. Carol really is the only completely normal character in the world of the film.
Maggie
Maggie is Leonard’s wife. She is socially competent and grounded. Though Leonard’s behavior is alarming, Maggie has learned to navigate it through politeness and de-escalation rather than resistance. At the dinner party, Maggie calmly attempts to keep Leonard. While more emotionally grounded than her husband, she doesn’t challenge him directly, enabling the cycle she quietly fears.
Burt
Burt is a friendly, talkative man who is rarely taken seriously by the people around him. He is unaware that nobody ever truly listens or cares about him. Burt believes he’s well-liked, or at least “in on the joke.” He proudly considers Dennis his best friend, though Dennis doesn’t reciprocate that title. Oblivious to the power dynamics and cruelty within the office, Burt is content simply to belong even if it is being the workplace punching bag.
Noah
Noah is a magnetic and highly intelligent individual who carries himself with the confidence of a man who knows something no one else does. He is a charismatic talker, capable of using empathy and logic as weapons to manipulate his captors. He begins the story as a defiant, sharp-witted revolutionary. However, as he becomes trapped in a repetitive cycle of psychological torture, his confidence takes on a more sinister, unpredictable edge. The actor must be able to portray a wide arc: moving from an articulate, composed strategist to a weathered survivor who has reached his breaking point.
Amos
Initially appearing as a cynical fellow inmate "Leo", Amos is revealed to be the technician or interrogator overseeing Noah’s neurological simulation. He is professional and clinical at first but becomes increasingly unhinged and emotionally volatile as the assignment fails to yield results. He is driven by a deep, personal grief—avenging a lost loved one—and carries the heavy burden of proving his loyalty to the State. The actor must balance the coldness of an officer with the raw vulnerability of a grieving father.
