[SAGE McKAY] 16, Anishinaabe. Sherry's daughter, activist in training. Wise beyond her years, Sage loves to wax Indigenous politics anytime and anywhere. She's serious and witty but dry and determined to uncover the truth about who her father is. When the kids at school call her a "Pretendian," it sends her on a deeply personal mission to prove them wrong—not just to others, but to herself. Sage is Sherry's toughest critic and her greatest ally, even when they're butting heads. She wants more than survival—she wants clarity, legacy, and purpose. But to get that, she'll have to face the uncomfortable truth about her family—and maybe accept that bloodlines aren't the only thing that defines who she is. SERIES LEAD. THIS ROLE IS UNDER A 3 YEAR OPTION.

He is well behaved, knowing he absolutely does not want to wind up staying with his dad, Leonard, whose bravado he can see right through. River finds a friend in Carter, who we discover have a lot to teach each other. River’s journey throughout the season is to find his confidence and finally stand up to his problematic Dad.

Carter lives slightly out of step with the world: socially awkward, imaginative, and comforted by routine. Having grown up isolated and emotionally dependent on his dog Arjun, he struggles profoundly with loss, clinging to magical thinking as a way to cope with grief. Despite his fragility, Puppy-like enthusiasm, and undeniable sweetness,Carter possesses a sincere warmth and unwavering loyalty, and his emotional openness makes him both vulnerable and quietly compelling. Gentle, sensitive, and deeply earnest.(SEEKING NAME TALENT).

Quick-witted, grounded, and outwardly put-together, Pete is a young lawyer balancing ambition with a deep sense of loyalty to his family, especially his cousin Carter. Pragmatic and sarcastic, he often plays the voice of reason, but his instinct to protect Carter reveals a softer, more conflicted side. Torn between responsibility, career pressure, and doing what’s “right,” Pete’s charm and relatability come from his struggle to navigate adulthood while holding onto the people who matter most.( GABE GREENSPAN IS PLAYING THIS ROLE)
